There is nothing in the Tucson area. There was a Gameworks in one of the malls, but it was very small and only had modern games in it. The closest thing to a classic arcade is in Phoenix in the Mills Mall at their Gameworks, but the last time I was there the classic games were somewhat neglected and in disrepair.

I was visiting the local amusment park, Kennywood in Pittsburgh, and noticed about 15 classic games in a section in the back of an open air arcade.
They have Afterburner, Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Battlezone, Satans Hollow, Streetfighter, TMNT, Galaga, Asteriods, etc. but NO TRON!

I played some of the games, and it's comforting to know that I still suck at them!

I stayed at The Pop Cnetury resort at WDW last year (80's bldg of course) and hoped to see classic games in their arcade (d/t the resort theme), but alas, only the anniversary versions of Ms. Pacman, and Galaga.
If you can't find TRON at a Disney arcade, then what???

Hey guys,

Yeah i miss the old arcades.. I use to have a BALLY'S ALADINS CASTLE in the mall near me. I Live in the suburbs of philadelphia. There use to be arcades in all the malls back in the day.

Now the only arcade that is near me are 2 DAVE and BUSTERS. They are ok, it just that they carry all the interactive games such like gun,boxing,driving,flying,racing, etc.. anything that you can sit in or pick up and aim at the screen. Now they do have some classic machines but they are the multi-games.. liek one machine would have missle command, centipede,donkeykong, etc, like 5 games in 1... \

Anyways im a big tron fan, always has been . I just recently purchased a arcade version for my home that i got off a guy on ebay for 1100.00. VERY NICE CONDITIOn i mean the cabnet is original and mint. Came with a new monitor and powersupply. Decals were brand new and done nice. I did alost of stuff to it, like, took it off freeplay and but it back to taking quarters. Buying new upper and lower control panel plastics. Cleaned it, cleaned up the coinslot and return coin buttons. Put new locks, Control panel is in AWSOME condition. Clean and very well kept. Id say in a rating of 1 to10, 10 being bad and 1 being good. Id give this machine a big 1... For a 25 year old machine it is a nice piece. Im very pleased with it.. i even have my TRON tokens going across the top of the marquee to show who was up next to play!! The tokens are from ballys alladins castle and my old man use to work for them back in the day. So he swiped some and has had them for a long time now, and just recently gave them to me when i got my machine.. Back then, they were promotional and he was suppose to give them back to bally's but he took a couple and has had them ever since..

Anyways im just glad to find this forum and to see alot of people that are into TRON..

There is still one arcade that is close by that has changed names a couiple of times. But none of the older classical arcade games in them. They are more current with more racing, shoot'em up, sports, and a couple of other games with the exception of maybe one which I play from time to time when I go down there 1942 I believe is the name of the game. Where you can choose one of five airplanes and all that with special features on it. That is about it. The newer games are in prestine condition. But still pricey if you try and uy them used once they are no longer collecting the enough dough for the owner. I have a friend that works there.

THe listing for arcade places is it restricted to just the US or can Canadians and maybe other people who come from outside the US also add in local arcade places into the listing there Auric?

Nearly 100% of the site code that I'm using for AF will end up on the new sector here. Once I'm done with the new forums on AF, I'll be moving the code over to the sector, and I promise you'll like what you see.

I've been looking for ages to find a game very similar to this one, I swore was called Valkyrie (but isn't when I google it), and had come out around '88. Cant find it on MAME either, at least last time I checked.

Ya, chuck-e-cheese is unfortunately where i have to get my Galaga fix too! My kids will be too old for that place soon though, so I'll have to find one elsewhere.
