[linuxfanman]

Knotty Peek. Hahaha yeah some of those old ones in the Penny Arcade would be my favs too but man that place looks sweet! I would love to go there sometime. Nice area for sure!

[linuxfanman]

@MN12BIRD The ol penny arcade is great.. Well if you ever decide to come, PM me and we can meet up in Manitou... Yeah its a nice lil town, kinda reminds me of Germany...

I noticed some arcade cabinents outside. They aren't worried about those things getting wet in the rain? I would be! I saw a poker cabinent in an antique store. It looked worn down... I wondered if it worked... I wouldn't mind owning an arcade cabinent. They look fun and retro!

holy crap nice arcade i have family in colorado i will visit this place whenever i get up there sweet eye candy cool ..i love the arcade thanks for sharing buddy:D

[OldSchoolNYCGamer]

Very awesome indeed, this is how Playland was when it was round with a lil mix of the Coney Island Arcades too. I plan on doing some vids of those soon when I can.

[ArcadeMameMachine]

They have all the crap inside and all the good ones outside that's just wrong, very wrong, a lot of classic arcade cabs, brings back memories thanks for uploading this, I think I would never leave! 2 thumbs up!

[markvergeer]

@ArcadeMameMachine I was thinking exactly the same thing. I guess the owners think that the games with just the screens and the controllers are worth less than those old fashioned half mechanical things....



[ArcadeMameMachine]

@markvergeer I don't think they realise that you can't see the screen with the sun shinning on it, and sun will fade the cabs so quickly, it such a shame.

[linuxfanman]

@markvergeer Its because they have to many machines and not enough room... and yes sadly new games are worth less... example being the football (soccer) game for 1 cent a play, is worth like $500,000 now... so I dont blame them.. but yeah i would love to have some of the games they have outside, inside in my house... so i hear ya there

[linuxfanman]

@ArcadeMameMachine thanks man... ya its a great place...  reminds me of my childhood...

[sinistermoon]

This is less than 2 hours away from me. I totally need to go soon. Awesome video man!

[linuxfanman]

@sinistermoon Cool man... yeah go its a hell of a good time...

[BlooditeDrakan]

Man I miss that high scale of arcade gaming! Can't wait to go back to the U.S. and plunk a shit ton of money down on some arcades again. Thanks for the video man!

[linuxfanman]

@BlooditeDrakan Sadly theres not that many arcades around any more here in the USA either... The golden days of the arcade are gone, but still not forgotten...

[BlooditeDrakan]

@linuxfanman That's tragic. Thank whoever coded MAME so that at least people can still play the 2D classics. :(
