| 2012-03-20 | Lydia | I do like the manner in which you have spreented this specific challenge and it does supply me personally some fodder for consideration. Nonetheless, from just what I have seen, I basically trust as other remarks stack on that folks continue to be on issue and not embark upon a tirade associated with some other news du jour. Yet, thank you for this fantastic piece and although I can not go along with the idea in totality, I value the standpoint. |
| 2009-08-03 | GaryBusey | Great, great place. I was dumbfounded by all the fighting games they had - Super SF 2 Turbo, Street Fighter 3, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Street Fighter EX 2/3 (forgot) and Tekken 5. Great choice of games to choose from and really, how can you not love the cost? Just cost me 4 nickels to play SF 3 instead of 4 quarters . Very nice. |
| 2009-07-29 | t.r. | Elizabeth, I believe you're thinking of Battle Balls. |
| 2008-08-23 | retroplayer | Hope I didn't scare anyone. NC still open for business, must have been a fluke. Only place that has a Street Fighter II and III in good condition in Chi-town area. And Super Contra :) |
| 2008-08-22 | retroplayer | I just went there tonight and it was closed, for good I think. Unless he moved to a new location, I am really bummed. |
| 2006-10-15 | Elizabeth | I was there last Saturday, and the Free Play section was in pretty good shape. They even had Mega Man: The Power Battles!
Does anyone know the name of the game they had where groups of 3 marbles fall and you have to line up 4 or more of the same color? I can't remember it! |
| 2005-08-08 | Troy | I went there yesterday. I was hoping to play Defender and they no longer have Defender or Mappy. However, they have an Ultracade that has Quiz & Dragons. So its a good place. The end. |
| 2005-02-28 | Mike | Hey Salvador, I went to Nickel City tonight. I checked out some of their classic games. awesome. I played at Nickel City for 4 hours in their freeplay section. Nickel City is super affordable and a great place to kill some time and have fun. |
| 2005-02-22 | Salvador | I was just at Nickel City tonight, 2-22-05, there classics are really on free-play. I've read some of the other comments, and i have to disagree, there free play section is in great shape. I guess they changed owners and there store is now so much better. The new owner actually takes care of there games. I saw there website and its www.nickelcitygames.com it has pics and everything. Great Place to GO!!!!! |
| 2005-01-25 | Jill M | It's a cheap place to go have some fun for a bit.You can't expect too much from a free play game. I don't know why you all haven't just d/l'ed emulators and play them at home. |
| 2002-04-16 | Tony P | Beware!!! I went there on a Saturday afternoon, and it was CLOSED for a private party. They even had a big burly bouncer chomping a cigar outside to turn people away. They better open to the public at thier peak times or it isn't going to last! |
| 2002-04-09 | Jason Kratz | Many of the classics here are in poor shape. Skramble video is messed up. Pacman screen is flickering badly. many games are in beat up generic cabinets and controls dont all work. |
| 2002-03-31 | zortman | I was just at Nickel City yesterday and they have a four player version of Wrestlefest! Only two of the controllers are in really good shape though. |
| 2002-03-17 | Tony P | Thanks Jacob, Super Just Games (and all it's nasty comments) are now deleted. |
| 2002-03-16 | Jacob Kaplan | FYI, this is Super Just Games, under new management. Still only $2 to get in, and the classics are free. The place is a little smaller, however. |
