Man the first street fighter or fighter street sucked with only two buttons
I think I saw you at it, you were playing fighting street and telling me how it sucked especially with 2 buttons and my friend was saying you only need 2 buttons for street fighter, the ignorant fool
As for the arcades, it's only really early stuff other than the neo geo multi system but there's plenty of other systems with stuff like Soul Calibur and Tekken and R-type.
Nobody really wants to play Mortal Kombat anyway, it's awful :P

you can pay at the door and they stamp your hand with a little Mario character
they have attendants in there who check your tickets to see if you are still within your time limit
i was just in there this evening and thought it was a great set up but very quiet, about 20 people in total
loved seeing the Computer Space game even if it wasn't turned on
and i finally got to see a ZX81, man they were tiny
i only spent an hour there as i was on my own so quickly tried to get in as many as i could but if you are going with friends i would advise getting the 2-3 hour tickets

Donkey Kong, Galaxian, Galaga, sit down Star Wars Cabinet, space invaders cabinet cocktail cabinet and you must really check out the asteroids cabinet because you may never see a vector display again and it's really impressive.
The full sit in star wars cab? haven't seen one of those in years. Man that brings me back....."STAY ON TARGET"
That's it, i'm going, that's all there is to it. This thing sounds like it's every arcade i spent my youth in and every console i owned throughout the 90's all rolled up into one.

I just went in today (On my own). I got in about half an hour after it opened so there weren't any queues for anything. There was some ridiculously complicated game where you had 2 joysticks and 2 consoles full of buttons and 3 foot pedals. It's well worth going to. The a button on the gamecube was broken, so I couldn't play Sonic mega collection. Also the PS3 with Uncharted 2 had a gammy L1 button so you couldn't aim (didn't really care because I have the game at home. They had a playstation with a big sign all about FF VII and how popular it was and all, but the game in the console was actually the ported version of FF VI.
I spent most of the time playing lady bug and dig dug0 -

That's Steel Battalion. Came out in 2002. I'd never seen it in real life before either. ****s class. Looks like an expensive piece of music equipment like a Native Instruments Maschine with the buttons lighting up when you hit them. Seriously solid arcade type sturdyness.
I tried all 40+ buttons for about 10 minutes but I couldn't work out how to get off the mission briefing screen and actually start playing.
Great show. It could have used a few more classic arcade machines like Robotron or Defender but that's about my only complaint. And the paying by the hour. It's hard to get lost in anything when you know you're against the clock.0 -

I'd played it before so was no other to me and stayed to help some one else out It's hard to get used to if don't know what you are doing. Theysaid they'd have some one there to help out with it but there was nobody. Here's how some tips for people that want to try it.
1 Make sure the gear stick is set to neutral.
2. When you first get into the game you have to engage the cockpit. The button will be glowing and on your right hand side.
3. Next is to boot up the computer. Again the button will glow and be on the left hand side.
4. you'll get a heads up display of five bars, you need to flick the switches on the right, all five of them. If nothing happens flick them the opposite way.
5. Next you have to hit the ignition button. It's on the right hand side and will be glowing. However you have to hit it at the right time, when the 5 moving bars are past the solid green line, you'll know when you see if.
6. If all goes well you should be ready to go. Shift into first gear and hit accelerate.
7. the left stick controls your turning, the right stick where you are aiming. try to centre the crosshair of your weapons in the centre of the screen since it can get lost. Also don't touch the hat joystick as it will change you point of view but won't turn your mech so it can really confuse you.
8. Start ****ing **** up!

Great. I'll just bring an effing printout next time I'm there. I got two of the staff to see if they could work it and they couldn't.
Meant to say my highlight of the show was the Star Wars arcade machine. That thing has dated fantastically. I meant to try and get my head around Space War (or whatever the Vectrex clone of the first video game was) and it's not easy either. No wonder it was a flop.0 -

Was there saturday, was busy but no queues, the arcade machines were always busy but there was decent turnaround so you weren't waiting other than the MVS machine being hogged by Metal Slug players.
