Why does this place even exist? Why do normies even go here? How is it successful?
The focus is completely on the bar, the arcade aspect of it is absolutely shit-tier.
All of the games are either arcade ports of iPhone games (I'm not joking, Arcade Flappy Bird actually exists), every other game is a shitty rigged pseudo-games like "Press the button at the right time!" and "Spin the wheel!"
What little good games there are there are absolutely ABUSED by normies and drunken idiots. Konami actually decided to localize a DDR Arcade game for the first time in 8 years, and what do normies do? They vomit all over it, stomp and break the panels, "pretend" to dance and just dance on it without playing the game, and if they are playing, everyone's playing on the easiest difficulty.
There's barely any maintenance, if at all, many machines are broken, and really, the only good aspect of it is the entirely non-vidya aspect: The bar.
Because arcades are dead and this the only place I can play some of the cool ones.
James Gray
I have this at my D&B. Get fucked OP. They cut it down to 4 cabs this year and removed lost world and Ferrari challenge
Mason Fisher
it has a bar
Logan Mitchell
D&B kinda blows.
My city has plenty of 'barcades' where it's just a normal bar with tons of free retro arcade games and it's much better. Plus you don't have that stupid points system that D&B uses where it limits the number of games you can play.
Logan Fisher
Basically this
normos don't give an actual shit about the games, they're just an add on to the drinking
Jeremiah Ramirez
OP, if you're looking for a better steak in an arcade setting, you are shit out of luck.
Nicholas Richardson
Round 1 Entertainment.
Brayden Campbell
Chuck e cheese for adults
Hudson Walker

Jeremiah Lee
>Shitting on chuck e cheese
Also I refuse to consider the people who go to D&B "adults"
Jordan Scott
i only go to d&b because of DDR A
i'm just hoping round1 comes to new york soon...
Oliver Nguyen
I'd like DDR A if the song list for DDR 2014-A weren't complete dog shit.
Ayden Murphy
I've heard they have a few alright games like Star Wars Battle Pod but otherwise I have an alright arcade near me. It closed in 2007 but relocated in a open space at a mall with less games but I always see one of the employees play Initial D Arcade Stage 3 upgrading the hell out of his car. Pretty alright.
Caleb Diaz
>Wait for DDR to be free >Butterfly is selected If you want a bunch of rehashed songs that sound good, helps you get good and are fun, just play the Paranoia series.
Josiah Murphy
the hot wings
the only reason
Connor Gomez
Chucky e cheese still has most of the games since 10 years ago. I really wish they changed it up a bit but hey am not a kid anymore so i guess i can't complain. The employees seem to hate the place sadly with those fake smiles. Good thing i got into console and handheld gaming. I got tired of going to the place just to play videos games. Arcades are just mostly outdated espically in america. Two quarters just get another chance or life then another two quarters just to move to the next stage. Fuck that shit.
Henry Wood
>Go to D&B to play DDR A >Get Extra Stage >People want me off because I played three songs >Refuse because I earned a fuckin extra stage. >Get beat up by a tough dude. Epic normies.
Levi Murphy
>then another two quarters just to move to the next stage. Fuck that shit. FUCK ANY PLACE THAT DOES THIS god damn
Cameron Robinson
They still have Chinatown Fair
Jayden White
Mine doesn't even have DDR. It has one of those Korean shits with 4 diagonals and a center. The only good games are the various light gun ones that every arcade has.
And fuck the card and points thing that they use instead of quarters.
Gabriel Gonzalez
To pray on those of us on the East Coast who haven't been blessed with a Round 1. Best thing in NJ is an arcade filled with retro games, as well as some old consoles but you also pay by the hour as opposed to just putting in quarters. I just want some of those shiny new import machines too, Sound Voltex, School of Ragnarok and Gunslinger Stratos seem like such fun games...
Nicholas White
hello
Brandon Green
>Shitting on PIU Casual
Benjamin Walker
...
Ryan Nelson
Because DDR.
Jonathan Gutierrez
How good is this place?
My friends said they saw gunslinger stratos in there when the poked their heads in, but I don't want to go for an hour long drive and find out the place sucks.
Julian Anderson
It's a japanese arcade in america, it's GOAT.
Levi Rivera
>better controls and button layouts >better inputs >better sound quailty and comfy experience >create save files and save states >larger in content and length. >play anytime you want and don't have rush anymore. The moment i got my on very first own videogame was the i moment i stop giving a fuck about arcades and wanted to murder that chucky rat for the robbery of my precious launch money i spent there. It was huge leap to me in my life as a kid.
Jayden Anderson
>Go to an arcade to play DDR >Extra stage is disabled
Jayden Turner
I will honestly make a pilgrimage of about 4 hours if this is answered with a yes: Do they have any of the Miku rhythm games?
Grayson Campbell
I heard some R1's have it but why would you play miku instead of IIDX or Popn
Joseph Collins
yes
Blake Baker
Because even adults need a Chuck E'Cheese.
If you want a real arcade, you better travel to a city and hope one is there or save up some money to go to Japan.
Anthony Sanchez
Because after spending ~$100 on Future Tone, I want to see how bad I am at the real thing.
Gavin Brooks
Boy i hope you like rhythm games and reading moon runes.
Don't forget your E-Amusement / Nesica pass.
Otherwise, just go to anime conventions
Or play simulators like K-Shootmania
Elijah Gonzalez
I kind of just assumed that Round 1 sold E-Amusement and Nesica passes. Because they aren't on the East Coast. So it's impossible for me to visit one.
Anthony Brown
>"Press the button at the right time!" this is literally every single game in existence you fucking mongrel
Ian Cruz
Yeah, but GOOD games are way more engaging than that. Namely there are more buttons and more variables. Those machines with the circling light and a single button are way too simple to be enjoyable other than for ticket farming
Juan Scott
Yes goy, pay 2 dollars a go to see if you can press the button when the light lines up
William Robinson
Not everyone lives in Commiefornia jerkwad.

not for now, most of them are being built, which will take a year or two.
Camden Reyes
>no sfa2 or 3 at D&B
and this is where I don't go. What kind of place doesn't have Street Fighter or other fighting games?
Cooper King
I work here. Ask me anything.
Joseph Ortiz
They do sell em. Make sure you get em.
Aiden Johnson
why don't they have Fighting Games.
Mason Bennett
I plan to when Round 1 finally decides to go to NY, because I know NJ isn't on their plan list
Kayden Scott
I have this shit PHAGGOTS.
Isaiah Campbell
A shopping mall?
Parker Richardson
What's it like?
Daniel Smith
And it's a good 50 percent or even double the price of non trendy bars.
Are there people who really go to these places to get drunk and end up paying 100 dollars on a few drinks.
Might as well buy actual good drugs at that point
Ryder Allen
>Might as well buy actual good drugs at that point explain
Cooper Jones
There's a bowling/arcade franchise near where I live called Round 1. They bring in really weird jap arcade games at times, it's really great.
Kayden Allen

Maybe if you're state wasn't a underdeveloped shithole maybe you'll get one
David Diaz
Bullshit. We have one in texas.
Evan Parker
Wow user, that's so special and unique, and nobody's ever heard of them before. You are such a cool hipster who knows about obscure shit and stuff
Noah Brooks
>tfw your Dave and busters had the mechwarrior pods, but traded them for casual shit like touch bowling and air hockey
Christian Brooks
Naw man, you just have to know where to go
I got back from a trip to Tennessee a couple weeks back, and I found an absolute fuckton amount of arcades in Gatlinburg.
I mean seriously, holy shit like every 2 blocks there was an arcade/go-carts/fun-center/mini-golf, etc.
But actual legitimate arcade spots where the games were the complete focus, rather than just as a sideshow to some shitty Harry Potter laser tag or something.
Lincoln Brooks
I won a PS4 for about 150 to 200 dollars there. It's better than most arcades.
Benjamin Ramirez
Playing an american jojo machine is on my bucket list
Lucas King
New York fag here, best arcade I've been to is in Hershey Park, in the old west area. It's got all kinds of great shit.
Sebastian Harris

feels great to play my uncle's favorite
Nolan White
Barcades exist also anime and game cons are lit as fuck when it comes to arcades they're packed with japanese arcade machines just bring a flask if you want to get drunk
Gavin Sanders
Because a fool and their money are easily parted and America is a breeding ground for stupid people.
Sure some of the sharpest minds of the world come from the USA but sadly the majority of it is trash.
Jaxson Cook
I'm surprised with what that place gets away with and what they have, at some point they had music from the squid sisters blasting on the mall entrance.
Is that really a thing?
I randomly took that picture with someone, I'm surprised I actually had a use for it.
Levi King
>How is it successful? > >The focus is completely on the bar, the arcade aspect of it is absolutely shit-tier.
You just answered yourself, dumb fuck. Do you even know how the world works?
Matthew Gomez
>Is that really a thing? youtube.com/watch?v=ZZw_L61DP0U yah I drove 500 miles for it, got stuck in downpour waiting for a subway train (which was going the wrong way and I had to get on a different subway) after ditching my car on a side street because the highway was at a standstill.
was worth it
Samuel Wright
>Is that really a thing? Yes, it was a thing. And I had to work a nigger show that because some bitch ass old fuck scheduled her thousand fucking vacation for that week. Fuck you Lil Boosie or whatever the fuck your dumb ass name is, I hate you. No one even showed up for your fucking performance anyways and I didn't want to see you balls deep into some whore when you didn't lock your fucking door after not going on stage until 20 minutes late.
I am still bitter and I will probably remain bitter for the rest of my life. This is why I drown my sorrows in cute things.
Ryder Clark
Isn't there a better arcade chain coming up? Round One or something?
I have been there, place is actually loaded with normie shit arcades.
Tyler Robinson
but why senpai
Cooper Mitchell
Europoor has spoken
Logan Torres
If you were intellectual as myself, you would see that I am right.
You are nothing but an dumb American.
Connor Green
You really had to add that onto there? Like you took time out of your day thinking "I need to add another insult on here, else I may not gain the point in this argument!"
Grayson Wilson

Aaron Morris
>Free retro games Oh do they get my smartphone out for me or something?
>Stupid points system Uh, you mean paying for games? Yeah how dare they.

Leo Sullivan
Is it wiers or not normal to go to an arcade by yourself?
Hunter Parker
depends on what country you live in
Brayden Kelly
It's normal, I sometimes see guys alone.
Lincoln Long
its for normies who want to play vidya while having it be "social"
Sebastian Torres
It used to be the only thing even resembling a decent arcade in the city I used to live.
The arcade section was actually pretty big and had a decent selection of arcade games like the lost world jurassic park, house of the dead 2-4, about 8 daytona usa cabinets, it actually even had a machine with galaga and donkey kong. There was also a mario kart which I didn't even know existed in arcades. Come on though drinking a beer while playing the lost world was fucking awesome.
I miss the old arcade I used to go to though that shut down about ten years ago it had fucking Virtual On which was probably on of the coolest games to play in an arcade.
Levi Lee
Burgerland
The reason i ask cause my friends were saying that going to the arcades solo is weird. I never thought of it that way and still don't.
Jacob Hill
>local dave & buster's replaced HYDROOOOO THUNDER with fucking doodle jump
jokes on them, the first round 1 just opened in the area
Adam Brooks
I hate when real arcade games get replaced with shitty casual or ticket games.
Oddly enough I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. There's a really small mall nearby that has a Hydro Thunder and 2 Daytona USA cabs.
Carter Cox
Should be ok. If it's Dave and Buster, just grab a drink from the bar and head to the arcade with drink in hand.
Ayden Hill
Any of you guys ever go to the Galloping Ghost? It's the biggest arcade in the US.
Kayden Cook
They have DDR, Daytona, Mario Kart, Terminator, House of the Dead, and Time Crisis at my D&B. I'd go there like once a week if I had the money.
Their food is shit, I'll give them that.
Brandon Martinez
I just saw the list
good lord I saw the list
Evan Howard
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DANCE
fuck me, I could never get the endurance to finish that song.

Jace Stewart
that shit definitely warrants a field trip
Bentley Martinez
>he doesn't want to play air hockey after eating a medium rare steak
It's like you hate fun
Nathaniel Howard
I remember going to one of these a long, long time ago when I was just a boy for one of my cousin's birthdays I believe. Not soon after I heard that some girl got raped in one of the bathrooms at the very same one I went to. It kind of permanently soured my experience of the place forever.
Colton Martin
Wait what? Holy shit, I need to plan a trip there.
Julian Williams
Their food are gross though.
Thomas Sanchez
I was just there like a month ago. Best fucking place ever. Has so many games. Also love you pay $15 for all day, can even leave to grab dinner somewhere and come back to keep on playing. The staff there is pretty cool as well.
Wyatt Taylor
>medium rare WHAT IN THE FUCK What is wrong with you?
Wyatt Stewart
>mfw i'm 30 minutes away from Galloping Ghost >mfw i'm 30 minutes away from Dave and Busters (Addison) >mfw i'm 30 minutes away from Round 1 (Bloomingdale) Too bad I don't feel like playing weeaboo games anymore ._.

Austin Hall
Any good arcades for a New York City fag?
Evan Hernandez
It's arcade games set to free play but you're supposed to drink or be the DD to play.
Kevin Cook
I don't give a shit about the arcade or the prizes; I go for the fucking goldfingers. Breaded fried chicken + honey mustard. It's the stuff that God eats.
Elijah Fisher
go to the next level arcade and meet spooky
Parker Gonzalez
D&B's only decent contribution in the last decade was bringing over DDR Ace and pressuring R1 locations to adapt to the one-credit premium method.
I always liked PIU better than DDR/ITG. I wish the Prime machine at Philadelphia Mills had online service and wasn't dogshit for like four or five other reasons.
Ryan Sullivan
...
Juan Cook
>one-credit premium method. I'm not familiar with modern arcades as the ones near me close shop back in 1999, so what is this?
Landon Howard
normies are retarded alcoholics with no taste.
Evan Torres
D&B is for going out and having a good time with friends. I know this is an alien concept to most of Cred Forums, so I don't expect any of you to understand.
Christopher Hill

Jason Rivera
Medium rare is the correct way to get a steak.

Luis King
You've probably never had fun in your life, have you?
David Thompson
Nigger it was a shitty, smelly place that serves mediocre food, has shit maintenance, has shit arcade games, doesn't even have any decent beer, and overall the only enjoyment I had was exclusively from interacting with, yes, my friends.
Which, if I wanted to have fun with my friends in a way that isn't supporting a garbage business and doesn't involve wanting to kill myself because of how terrible this experience is, then I would not go to D&B, I'd go to anywhere else.
Ryan Morgan
Is that a knex object? >i know it's tied to a meme, and that's all Google is giving me
Matthew Roberts
I went and had fun with friends. I think you are just a faggot. yes that makes sense to me, you are a faggot.
Angel Brooks
PA fag here and you fucking new yorkers need to gtfo of hershey park, im about 40 mins away and theres fucking millions of you guys there killing the fun. I always go before new york kiddos get out of school
Brayden Jenkins
I also had fun with friends, because my friends were there, that doesn't change the fact that I'd be having more fun if all of us were somewhere else, because nobody enjoyed being there.
Could you actually tell me that you were having fun playing the games?
No, you had fun drinking and being around your friends. You can't tell me you had fun with the games, because the good games were either broken, or all there was was mobile phone games.
If you had fun with those games, you are literally cancer killing the vidya industry.
Hudson Richardson
I enjoy it. This was opening night a few years back with my friends, they handed out the shirts
Nolan Roberts
The last time I went there they had the Lost World Light Gun game so they're A-OK in my book.
Luis Diaz
What is this, Popn for retards?
Liam Gutierrez
I honestly just felt like calling you a faggot user calm down. the one I went to was ok because it had some actual games in the arcade but it was an out of town trip as we were on the way to medieval times in dallas for a friends birthday since he has a massive hard-on for that kind of thing. that however was legitimately great and fuck anyone who says otherwise.
also it was several years back before the whole "mobile games as arcade games" thing took off.
Eli Martin

Dominic Hughes
I'm pretty sure that's them hitting the wrong button that makes it decrease by one
Luis Evans
Presumably that happens when you hit a bulb that isn't lit up.
Nathan Flores

Justin Reed
>going to a bar to play video games
Drink till you get tipsy then start playing the games you don't enjoy.
Jaxon Gray
googling youtube food reviewer in a suit gave me results but I'm to drunk to bother past that.
Xavier Adams
That's bullshit that I should be expected to pay for the games on top of the drinks. They're mostly glorified mobile games for the most part. Barcades are set up so that you can access a bunch of arcade cabinets either by yourself or with a group of people. Sure you can play them on your phone but they're free here anyways and most were 2+ players. Something fun to do while you're out drinking.
John Collins
You're telling me that that they collectively hit the bulb that's not-lit 10+ times in that one webm?
David Garcia
fug I said I'm drunk I left out the name thereportoftheweek
Matthew Cook
Which part senpai? Bergen county here and the nearest decent arcade is 8 on the break in Dunellen. It's on the small side, but they got time crisis 4, hotd 1, jubeat, initial d arcade stage 7 and 8, and wangan midnight.
I'm planning to go there sometime this week. If you wanna join.
Last one I went to had a huge arcade with a bunch a cool games. I got to play Time Crisis 4 with my cousin, which in and of itself was way more than I was expecting
Angel Thomas
When you sacrifice double checking for speed, it's a random pattern, and you're in a competitive environment, yeah you tend to mess up.
Joshua Howard

Anthony Lopez
Ocean County so I'm pretty far away. Plus right now I'm flat broke so I'm not really going anywhere until I can get that sorted out Pretty cool that they have Initial D though
Lucas Nguyen
Because some people want to leave their basements and have some fun at the arcade. What the fuck are you so mad about?
Grayson Sanchez
Galloping Ghost is a pretty cool place. I was dissapointed to find that a fair number of the machines are in poor condition. I suppose that's to be expected given the volume of people that come in every month.
I went to one in Texas and it had Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Beyond that I don't know what you want. Arcade games are shit anyway, you can play better versions of most of them without being fleeced.
Luis King
user, I know you have autism, but he's clearly mad that he went to D&B with friends and didn't have any fun because of broken machines, disrespectful drunks, and arcade ports of mobile games
Luis Foster
Who /round1/ here? It's like D&B except it has weeb games tucked into the corners
Jordan Evans
Got ground kontrol and a local arcade that has ocean hunter.
People are always spilling beer on the consoles so shit is sticky
Dominic Ramirez
Dave and Busters is barely any better than the lowest of low grade places. They usually have one or two games worth a damn and the rest is shit like "Crossy Road Arcade" or "games" where all you do is try to time a lightbulb perfectly and fail 99/100 times.
Lincoln Taylor
Oh rip. At least you have a shorter drive to AC compared to me. And AnimeNext recently moved there, so you got good con to go to every year.
Hudson Nelson
Living in the middle of everything is a double edged sword as it means nothing is an awfully long pilgrimage but everything is 1 hour away so you're always going the same distance anywhere.
Wyatt Reed
I went to Dave and Busters once. I thought I was going to be good at DDR but I wasn't.
It was still kinda fun though.
Leo Anderson
Easy. A spot for the parents, a spot for the kids.
Now, someone answer me this one:
T.G.I. Fridays
WHY? THE MOST HORRIBLE OVERPRICED FOOD EVER. Worse than Pluckers. Is it the drinks and/or desserts only? Atmosphere?
Isaiah Morales
So theres a (semi) new Round 1 in the DFW area in Grapevine. It's okay. There's another one in Addison but it is absolutely overrun by spics.
Only 1 Miku machine. 2 DDR machines but one is usually broke. 2 Sound Vortex, 4 Groovecoasters, etc. They just setup Infinite Stratos.
I would love to see a machine get Mushihime-sama/Futari put on it but right now they just have DoDonPachi
Ethan Morales
Recently, it's the endless appetizers deal, $10 or $12 for each different type of appetizer. It's great when you're with friends and want a slightly more expensive food run than McDonald's or taco bell.
Hudson Harris
Kids aren't allowed at D&B though
Nolan Campbell
That's not a bad thing honestly.
Jason Martinez
uh since when because I went there as a kid and went "recently" and there were kids there
Maybe after 5 or something they don't have kids
Sebastian Clark
That's not true though, I went several times in middle school.
Dylan Murphy
>Just moved to Dallas/Fort Worth >Not one, but TWO (2) Round 1's >One is 15 minutes away, the other 25
Thank you based Texas
Please tell me DFW has an Initial D community.
Sebastian Lewis
What? Yes they are. They're not allowed at the bar, but they literally play shitty teenpop music videos and there's kids running around all the time. 90% of the prizes are for kids.
Andrew Jackson

Robert King
The closest one near me recently got a bunch of Nintendo arcade games like Luigi's Mansion and Mario/Sonic Rio.
I've always been wanting to try Dark Escape 4D. Is it any good?

I'm pretty sure it's just Lego technic stuff.
Christopher Bell

Joshua Ortiz
>Pladium

Daniel Torres
Luigis mansion and the Mario olympic games one are pretty fun. Dark escape I hear is also pretty decent and scary, I've never tried it at mine. We recently got h2overdrive (which is hydro thunder basically) and guitar hero (obviously to new but great)
>Mfw we recently got rid of like all of our GHOST Squad machines and also our LA Machineguns machine >after we got DDR A it smelled like gym class at the machine for like a week
Luis Diaz
are you saying that Massachusetts is underdeveloped?
Christian Watson
It's alright, but it also has two endings and in order to get the good one you have to bust up every hidden camera in the game. It's pretty spooky and uses quite a few different effects to immerse you, as well as having a heart rate monitor built into your gun that can kill you if your BPM gets too high as well as deduct your score if it detects you falling for a jump scare
Tyler Reyes
>normies we need to eliminate this term
Austin Ortiz

Jaxson Jones
>Hating arcades of any kind >"b-b-but normies" says the faggot with no job >"its r-r-rigged!" says the pro-gamer wanna-be
hating D&B's is why arcades are dead in anywhere but chink-land. anti-social faggots stay mad.
Landon Sanchez
nah, it lets me know who the redditors are
Jose Gonzalez
Chicago area R1/GG patron reporting in.
That's too bad man. Weeb games are my main thing to play.
I'm there for Copula every week.
GG does actually keep up the fight against wear and decay. They try to put out a new game every week, and in doing so it helps them cycle out other games which need repair. There was one recent week where their Twitter news feed mentioned not putting out a new game but how much time went into repairing some of the old ones.
It comes in cycles but there's been a few visits I've had there recently where the machines were generally in much better state than months prior.
Matthew Martin
>I like mobile phone games and cheap beer exit's this way ->

Compare Round 1 to D&B and then realize your argument of "Lower your standards so that companies can both exploit your niche taste and appease the mainstream" is retarded

I used to go here a lot because there were actually really great arcade games that were hard to find elsewhere (I still play Star Wars Trilogy Arcade everytime I come across it). Now its mostly shit though. Half of their games are apps on a bigger screen that you have to pay for each life. The games that are actually interesting have bullshit difficulty moments designed to make you lose. Which I admit, isn't new for arcades, but its much harder. On top of that, a lot of newer games make you pay for each level.

The rhythm dance machine's ok.
Nolan Phillips
We call this mobile gaming today.
Justin Williams
The Angry Birds game gives a lot of tokens, I was able to get an Xbox 360 controller with just 3 plays from it
Jackson Allen
>8 on the break mah nigga
I hope they have plans to get Initial D Stage Zero and Time Crisis 5 (if they can cram it in there somewhere)
Leo Clark
They get Tekken.
Samuel Morgan
Barcades are pretty good
Landon Robinson
If they remove tekken 5 and some of the fighters that only have 1 stick, they probably fight a couple more cabinets.
Leo Evans
8 on the Break could be great if half the games weren't broken or semi broken.
Also you'd think such an established fighting game venue would have some decent attendance or viewership for tournaments but no. Same 20-30 people every week for Smash with FALSEWINSLOL and the same 10-20 people for SFV with DIEMINIONWINSLOL. Stream has topped out with 30 viewers and no higher for the last year. PLUS they don't charge a venue fee. No idea how this place stays afloat
William Ward
Fucking bizzare. I went there a few weeks back to settle a decade old SF2 score with a friend. Imaging our shock when we realized there were ZERO fighting games. Only racing or lightgun.
This is the state of arcades in America? Who came up with this bullshit policy?
Chase Brown
D&B's selection is definitely getting shittier as time goes by
But that's where I played the Mega Man arcade game with my little brother until we beat it.
And also where I first experienced 8 man Daytona USA and it was fucking competitive goddamn.
Evan Rodriguez
You mean Wunderland don't you user?
You need to check out Quarterworld on Hawthorne for their FZero AX full cabinet
Asher Edwards
you guys need to grow up
Carson Scott
I was born grown and I'm just growing down.
Nathaniel King
My nigga.
We're getting one here in GA soon, gonna shit on some SDVX.
>fix it felix I know Disney Quest had a ton of those machines to promote Wreck-It Ralph, did they sell those when the place closed down?
Brody Ramirez
Ah, got it.

They opened some bar/arcade things here where I live. One of them was 90s themed so I figured it would be people in their 30s in there enjoying nostalgia. I went there and I was dead fucking wrong. It was 100% millenial hipster faggots with pink hair and waxed moustaches who were there ironically.
Ruined my fuckin' night.
Bentley Young
I remember thinking this place was going to be magical because it was a mainstream arcade. Then I got there and the games were literally on-par with Chuck E Cheese. I haven't been there since my 21st birthday 8 years ago, but I'd fucking vomit if I went to an arcade and the had phone """games""" as the cabinets.
Gabriel Long
I don't know what's worse, shit like D&B where it's ports of mobile games or arcades that only include garbage rhythm games. Years ago my local arcade got rid of almost all of their classic cabinets and replaced them with countless DDR or other imported Jap rhythm games. The only people I ever fucking saw go there after that were goth kids. This was a decade ago when goths still existed.
Ethan Flores
Britbong here.
I don't know which D&B you went to, but I went on holiday to Murica and visited to good Dave and Busters. One is Los Angeles and one recently opened one in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas one was good, but obviously it was brand new so I can't say much about it. Los Angeles one was actually decent too. Also, they had Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics, so I had a reason to get to these arcades than my pathetic BritBong ones.
