I'm planning on going down to the shore on Saturday and will make a note of the current lineup of classics and will add this entry to aurcade when I get back that night.

That's great. Always curious what lies in untapped areas. I've constantly found some pleasant surprises when I venture out.

Last summer they had a great selection:
DK, Kung Fu Massa, Frogger, T&F, PP2 CP, Turbo CP, Sinistar, Millipede, Tempest, Asteroids, Mr.Do, Q*Bert, VS SMB, Pins, Punch Out and others I can't recall. I'll be sure to take pen and paper this time.

If it doesn't attract too much attention, a flashless camera might also help... especially for those long complicated names like Akatsuki Blitzkampf Auf Auchse.

A cell phone works good too. Mine has a recording function...draws much less attention than snapping pics of everything (some places don't mind, some freak)...using a cell phone, you can just pretend you're talking to someone as you read off each game :)

Untapped areas
on 6/25/2010 10:10:22 PM
Speaking of untapped areas... I'm hoping a friend of mine brings back some info about some arcade machines in the tourist trap town of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in the Smokey Mtns. What else is there? Oh yeah... Dollywood.
My phone doesn't have a camera on it, so I have to actually pull out a real camera.

I was getting an error trying to submit the info via the add location so can someone just cut and paste the info for me? Thanks. I'll put any notes next to the games if I played them or if they were not working visually. All games are in average condition unless noted.

I do have some questions about this list.
Ms. Pac Man (turbo or no turbo?)
Off Road (There's several games with this title in it... Ironman Ivan Stewarts Super Off Road by Leland in 1989, Off Road Challenge by Midway in 1997, and Offroad Thunder by Midway in 2000)
Star Wars (1983 by Atari? or 1993 by Sega?)

I played about half the games I listed last Saturday there. Although they are now $0.50 a pop to play.
