    Nice, great to see this is still alive! Thanks for sharing man.

    Very cool, thanks for showing this off. I thought this place was closed down for good.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer

    Yea, they should add 2 of not 3 classic cabinets from the 90's in there really.

    Awesome. I am glad to see its still alive.

    They do have a steady clientele and the after school kids keep spending money there. I haven't been by there on the weekends but when it gets warmer more will come out.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer

    Yea, I know some people rag on this place but seriously you won't find anything like this since El Dorado might be gone in Coney Island due to Hurricane Sandy.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer

    TRue but that's what most arcades of today have come down to cause they also need to stay in business by having those kind of machines in their establishments.

    Looks decent but not enough arcade machines to really interest me. I hate those redemption machine, they seem to have taken over classic arcades.

  • @OldSchoolGamer1981

    Very cool man. All the arcades I'm my area have closed except for one. Nice to see someone else trying to keep the tradition alive

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    That's a shame, I know it's not like it was 20 years ago but there's still interest in it as long as it's in a good location.,

    I've never been here, but I couldn't notice the sign: "World Famous Dancing and Tic-tac-toe chickens". Umm.... what? hahaha.

    Nothing wrong with seeing an arcade, they may be dying but as long as there are a few around, that is all I care about.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    Chucky Cheese has a couple of good games from what I saw a couple of years ago at one near my place by the Atlantic Mall.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer

    It's a nice spot to check out for fun Mark, you should check it out the next time you are on Holiday within the area.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    I have recently did a walkthrough of Two-Bits Retro Arcade and Barcade if you searched through my videos.

    Looks like they also took out the Super Puzzle Fighter II machine that was there when I was in that area in August. I don't really go to Chinatown often, but when I do, I just go to the fried dumpling place and I usually ignore CTF. Another issue is that the Initial D machine that they had there under the old ownership is gone. However, the Neo-Geo cab is a decent addition to the place and I might want to check it out again in that case.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    It was closed for a minor period but it has been open since last summer from what I was told.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    As long as people wanna play games, Arcades will still have a place somewhere Louis. = )

    @MoreDakka101 11 років тому

    that place has a ton of new games. Don't know how anyone can get enough biz these days to afford them but time will tell if they manage to survive

      I have been there a few times after this video was filmed, if you look at the date of this video it was uploaded on January 12th, 2013. I am well aware that we are also coming to the end of 2014 too.

    glad it is back open but it's a shell of it's former self it's more of a amusement arcade with only a couple fighting arcades to play certainly gonna draw a different kinda crowd from what used to be, more of a family fun crowd than die hard comp gamers

      If you look the ABOUT section... all the information is right there.

    It's nice to see Chinatown Fair up and running again but it just doesn't catch the vibe of the old arcade scene it had back in the 2000s. This place is more of a casual arcade spot, nothing different from what I see in Dave and Busters around my way. It is under a different management so it's understandable.
    The Neo Geo Cabinet is the only that that really caught my eye.

    • @juniguess
      @juniguess 4 роки тому

      yeah, from my understanding, it has a lot less emphasis on fighting games

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    I know, I was there yesterday and it was still out of order which really sucks. I was looking forward to playing it.

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    Not a problem sir, thanks for watching this. I know you are into the arcades as much as I am. = )

  • @OldSchoolNYCGamer
    @OldSchoolNYCGamer  11 років тому

    Thanks Boocie, I know it's not the old place but still it's ok.
