There's a new arcade in town.....

[RARusk]

At least in Austin, TX anyway: Pinballz Arcade (http://www.pinballzarcade.com)

This is a new place recently opened up by Al, the guy who runs AtariAge. This is a very large place with many machines including some I haven't seen in decades.

I finally had a chance to check out this place today. I chatted with Al for a little bit then played around with Mortal Kombat and Sea Wolf.

Definitely a place to check out if you are going to be in Austin at some point.

Awesome selection... I haven;t played Boot Hill in at least 30 years... I'm impressed.

Is it Albert from Atari Age? Because I thought he moved up to Cincinnati a few years ago.

I've been thinking about going down to Austin a few times, but I didn't know what was there that I'd be interested in. Now I know. I'll have to make some plans for my next vacation week.

Yep, that's me! I lived near Cleveland briefly a few years ago, but was glad to get back to Austin.

I was there a couple weeks ago while on vacation, I was impressed by what I saw, though I swore Mortal Kombat 1 had a bigger screen back in the day. Maybe my memory is fuzzy.

Also the Ghosts N Goblins mach8ine was nice to play, but the screen had some yellowing on it like the color was bleeding. It was good to see a lot of Midway's old stuff there, and seeing some of Nintendo's old arcade machines brought a tear of joy. Plus the pinball machines, goodness the pinball machines, too many to play. :)

Thanks for making a place like this exist, it was a pleasure to spend a few hours there.
