| 2004-07-30 | Mike Waters | This place is your typical laundromat, the games are lined up right by the door, and they also have 2 pinball machines next to the video games. My only real quirk about the experience here is that the first player joystick on Final Fight is messed up. Many times, I couldn't move Haggar to the right unless I moves the joystick left and then right, and even that didn't always work. I also couldn't move my character diagonally to the right, but it was great to see Final Fight there nonetheless, since it had been so long since I'd seen it in arcade form. I don't know how well the Ms. Pac-Man machine works, but Capcom Bowling works great. The Ms. Pac-Man machine is an obvious conversion, originally a Pac-Man cabinet, with just the marquee changed along with the game boards. This may have been the same machine that was at the now defunct This & That in Muldragh, which was run by my best friends' grandparents, and was a great hangout - the first arcade Muldraugh had had in years, perhaps the first they ever had! The Final Fight and Capcom Bowling machines are authentic, as they both have the original side stickers on both sides of the cabinets. |
