I would go there.

But, no Dragon's Lair or Space Ace? No sale!

There is more than enough to keep me busy there, but I would very much like to see DJ Boy, Rally-X, Stargate, Super Sprint, and Xevious added to the list.

Re: Galloping Ghost Arcade: Brookfield Il. Arcade!

When I was a kid, there was an old movie theater that did this. They had probably 50-75ish machines, and they only charged $5 to come in and plays as much as you want. I think I stayed a good 5 hours. LOL. I wish there were more arcades period, but it would be nice to see more arcades adopt this policy.

My theater did that on the weekends. it was like paradise as a kid I have fond memories of mortal kombat (mostly getting my ass handed to me) and Revolution X.

Just got back from The Kong Off in Flemington, NJ. Pretty fun time, Steve Wiebe, Billy Mitchell and WR holder Hank Chien were there.
