    Default Where's the last place you saw an arcade cabinet?

    Just as the title says, where was the last place you saw an arcade cabinet?

    I was escorting my sister to the tanning salon at one point in time, and I saw a Pacman Machine in the lobby. However, I didn't have any coins, so I didn't play it. This did lead my eyes to an odd old woman who seemed to have massive breasts, sadly, and I have been scarred forever since.

    So, when did you last see an arcade cabinet?

    When I worked in an arcade for 3 years?
    now safe beneath their wisdom, and their feet;
    here i will teach you truly how, to sleep.

    What's an arcade cabinet :3?

    If it's what I think it is.

    2 months ago or so?

    There was a laundromat in Bermuda (!) that had a Mortal Kombat 2 machine in there for quite some time. I think it was removed within the last 4 years though.

    More recently though, last year when I went on vacation to a foreign country. Arcades are still pretty popular there.

    There are some really retro ones in the Falcon; the ones that double as tables. They work, too! There's also a pinball machine in there. And in the Jolly Brewer there's a Pacman one. That works as well!

    Most of the entertainment machines in other pubs are fruit machines...

    Too long, I guess. Haven't really gone searching for one, though I remember some being in the mall here in town.

    There are still some arcades in Italy. However I haven't seen any in Germany.

    There are quite a few around where I live in places like Rhyl and Llandudno. Even have a few at my local cinema, though we mainly play air hockey or pool there now. Arcades are a pretty popular part of British seaside resorts, I'd say. A bit tacky but there's still usually one there. Loads in Rhyl and Llandudno, that's for sure. Last one I played on would've been either one of the Time Crisis games or House of the Dead.
