Arcade is a lot more logical as you can get lucky and find all yourr cabs for dirt cheap, which a theatre has a million monthly charges.

The state fair over here has an awesome arcade when the fair itself isn't going, but I'm pretty sure it's only open for other events :(

Seriously, they have a bunch of Neo Geo cabinets, classic ones, etc. It's like what you'd expect in the game quality of the mid 90's, with the general arcade feel of the 80's! :D

Oh yeah, off to the side they have about 30 cabinets not being used or anything :shock:

well, there might be more arcades were you live. back in the day, my town had about 3 arcades but now the closest one is about an hour and a half away its really sad

Yeah, but it costs a fraction of the price to operate.
