I just went to the Pinball Wizard Arcade in NH yesterday. It is the 2nd largest arcade in the USA.

I found this amusing...



...isn't every night "Singles Night" at the Pinball Wizard?

I'm joking, I'm joking!

Me and a friend make the trip up to Funspot (~3h drive) once or twice a year. How have I not heard of this place?

NY sucks, there are no arcade that aren't Dave & Busters shit (which suck except for the new Rambo game).  When in the city I go into the Chinatown arcade, and that's not too good either.

Someone open up an arcade for me in Buffalo, NY?

I made a pilgrimage up to Luna City Arcade a couple years back and it was worth the 6 hour drive.  Unfortunately, it looks like it's closed down for good.   I feel really bad for the guy.

Do they measure that by square footage or number of games or what? They seem to have a lot of pins, but nowhere near as many video games as Galloping Ghost. GG isn't actually that big, physically, but it is CRAMMED with games.

We found that amusing too! Surprisingly enough, there were 4 females in the arcade on Friday night which might indicate that Singles Night is indeed legit...or it could be a trap for Sausage Fest.

I believe it is measured by number of games (which is just over 200 although half of them are pinball). They have 4 aisles (or streets) of games. One of them has all Fighting games and is affectionately referred to as "Fighting Street". I have worked in 2 arcades in the past and both of them had better redemption showcases. They do have a vending machine filled with a variety of Mountain Dew flavors of which I picked up Game Fuel and Supernova.
