The United States of Arcadia - Part 1 (Philadelphia, Antioch, Nashville and New York)

Part 1 of my journey around some of the arcades of the Eastern states of the USA, featuring Barcade in Philadelphia and New York City, Game Galaxy in Antioch Tennessee and the more modern Dave & Busters in Nashville.
Part 2 features several arcade in New Hampshire...

I'm one of the techs at Game Galaxy (and MRM on a few of the scoreboards you managed to capture). Glad you liked it! We have since cleaned up the mess now that the construction is all over with. Our pinball collection is almost 80 machines now.

I've been to Game Galaxy and Dave & Buster's, They are both cool and different.

Great video, they have the doodle jump game in Blackpool

Tapper is just about my favourite classic arcade game. I'm making a mobile game inspired by it.

WHAAAT??? You were in my neck of the woods and didn't tell me??? Oh I could have showed you a great hidden gem here in town!
At least you found Game Galaxy. It is the most recent walkthrough of the place. The reason why most machines are switched off is because they have a circuit breaker issue they've been trying to resolve. They can't turn on too many machines at once without tripping it. They do the best they can with what they were given.

You can check out the Aurcade page on Facebook to see a video clip I just recently uploaded of a glimpse of that rare gem I was talking about. Glad y'all had fun in my town. :)

Awesome video Mat, what were the machines set at for play in the Barcades? 25c?

[@witchfinder1976]

Ah, sorry man, I never even thought! Most of Nashville time was spent doing music-related stuff anyway as my other half is a big country music fan! Maybe next time... ;-)

[@witchfinder1976]

Most of them were 25c yeah. Some of the more recent cabs were 50c if I recall correctly.

[@Meex1989]

Antioch is part of Nashville for the record, I've lived my entire life here.

I honestly HATE the way bars play their music. There's hearing it decently like any other local, then there's BLAST YOUR @#$%'N EARS OUT AND YELL AT OTHERS CAUSE YOU CAN'T @#$%ING HEAR A THING ANYONE IS SAYING!!!
