If you can, go to the Pinball and Arcade Game Expo in Tacoma in June, it's amazing. Several hundred pinball tables and arcade cabinets, all free after price of admission.

I wish Sega would port After Burner Climax to PC.

There's a couple options here in Dallas, but I've only been to Dave and Buster's (which has a pretty decent selection, but doesn't really count, I guess). There's Kung Fu Saloon, a barcade with a lot of cool older stuff- think Punch Out, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers- but according to Yelp and Google, the place has more of a club atmosphere and is notoriously racist. There's also Barcadia, which has a similar concept, and a few reviews mention that the drinks are pretty cheap, but apparently none of the fuckin' games work. Hard out there for a gamer.

There's certainly Chuck E Cheeses all over the place, but you need a kid to be let in, and half the games are stuff they made themselves strictly for tickets. Here in Michigan out by the two biggest campuses there's a mini-chain called "Pinball Pete's". They're the old fashioned dingy basement arcades. Back when I was in college they worried me because all they had were import Japanese motion games, like DDR knockoffs and light gun games. But they've gotten better since. Like a year ago I took a date there on her idea, mostly because she wanted to play some Galaga. They had up a couple basic Street Fighter II machines with a sign next to them about how lovingly restored they were to original condition and what a challenge they were. I decided to give it a whirl because I wanted to impress my date, but the joke was on me--they were the "Rainbow" bootlegs with all the super ultra bizarre difficulty changes like Hadokens going in zig zags, and the computer knowing re-dizzy combos and stuff. All of this unlabeled of course.

I went to a pizza place in Madison, WI about a year ago that has an arcade attached. They have a bunch of pinball setups and like, tempest, joust, pengo, and whathaveyou. They have a nice webpage http://rossispizzamonona.com/ quote:I, the author of this website, have no idea what I'm doing, so please forgive any errors or unintentional omissions. I am but a humble pizza boy.

Ground Kontrol is the best around and I usually wind up there at least once a month. Great bartenders and a good mix of games. Big Al's is a local chain that's got a great domain name for their site http://www.ilovebigals.com. It's a bowling alley first, a sports bar second and an arcade third, though. There's a local chain of nickel arcades called Wonderland that charges a few dollars for entry then 1-4 nickels for their selection of ticket games and a typical mix of arcade games. They just opened a Dave & Busters in the Portland area and it's horrible. Expensive machines that hide their inflated cost by using 'credits', overpriced food, terrible beer selection, full of assholes. Lots of options because this town and its citizens are in a perpetual state of arrested development.
