Press Start at Dave & Busters Islandia NY 07

[PinballBrendan]

I finally went to this Dave and Buster's yesterday and couldn't believe what they had in the corner... a Galaxian 3 cabinet - that's right, the giant 6 player walk inside cabinet was actually there. Unfortunately it had been converted from "Attack of the Zolgear" to some new recent game called "Air Raid". All of the artwork from Attack of the Zolgear was still intact, but was covered by military camouflage decoration. If you're a fan of arcade history, go check out that cabinet.

[PressStartComic]

@PinballBrendan I already beat you to the punch there Brendan. Look through the videos for "Air Raid Multiplayer Zone" We got videos and pictures of the inside and outside of the machine. What a shame that those great games were converted to that piece of shit.

[uncletom1971]

''.. it's 1998, I can beat it in two credits.'' - I bet you could! Hahaha.. you're great!

[nibelung34343]

i live near a place called dock i like more than dave buster cause they give you 7 ddr songs for 1 quarter

[gutchman84]

PressStartComic, why do you say Time Crisis 4 isn't that good? Like, in what ways do you think that game could have been a lot better?

[ShinmaRyuu]

I wouldn't mind redemption machines as much if they were more like the ones in Japan where you can get really cool stuff and the machines are more fun to play. Most of the American redemption machines are boring and full of china made garbage. Our local arcade has a ticket system and their prizes are pretty neat but you need a metric poo ton of tickets to get anything.

[PressStartComic]

Sega has been trying to bring their brand of UFO Catchers out here in the US. I saw a couple of them in Pennsylvania. Most of them were filled with Disney characters, but not like the cool things you can win in a Japanese Game Center.

[PlusCrimeThink]

I can walk to this place! fun.

[vincentboy99]

Can anyone come there nomader wat age? because i'm going there on my birthday and i'm 11

[PressStartComic]

@vincentboy99 You can go there, no matter what age you are. But some places do tell families with kids to leave after a certain time. As long as your done before 8 or 9, you should be fine.

Most places used to be hardcore about telling younger people to leave, but now they seem to be letting them stay.

[vincentboy99]

okay thax and u see i'm 11 remember? and i'ma subsrcibe to u and maybe u will subsrcibe me

[HeyBeautiful18]

Im going to D&B's tonight in Providence for my Bday!

[toocoolforreel]

Nice tour man I wish to this other Dave and Busters then the Times Square i feel like it's too hectic over there!!!

[atomicsombraro]

hahaha my school went to philly for a school trip and we skipped everything we were supposed to do and came here lol

[dannycaly909]

OHH YEAH !!!

[SuperNiceguy33]

Dave and Busters is an AWESOME place to hang out and have fun with friends!

[Predatorocks]

All the money is in redemption because you can't get that at home. You can get House of Dead, or many of the games on Wii, Playstation, X-Box, and so on.

[PressStartComic]

Redemption is easy to take care of and it makes a ton of money. It's sad, but it's true. Even Gary at Funspot told me how much the redemption games make compared to most of the games on the third floor in the museum.

They have a round Pink Panther token pusher that rakes in the dough there. Of all the games at FunSpot it's their biggest collector.

[donkey916]

Are Kid"s Allowed With Parent"s ??????

[PressStartComic]

I'm pretty sure you have to be with a parent at all times at D&B. Most D&B's are alright if the parents are with the kids after 9, but other places will ask you to leave after 9.

[AEJAVITAS]

Soo your giving a tour of dave and busters.. WOW

[MKWman09]

I LUV THT PLACE

[JustCallMeFox]

me too

[MKWman09]

Who doesn't

[romka4567]

Wait so D&B is like Chuck E Cheese for Adults? I'm 20 myself just saw a commercial and before that never heard of D&B. how much does it cost for the games and for beverages?

[PressStartComic]

Pretty much, if your under 21 and it's after a certain time, they'll card you and kick you out.

It's expensive depending on when you go. They don't use tokens or quarters, but points cards, they make you spend more to get more points.

Even a simple game like Ms. Pac-Man can be over a buck.

They pretty much just stick to the big games, light gun shooters, racers and redemption games. Many D&B's don't offer much in terms of classics or fighters.

Their all different depending on where you go.

[vgmaster9]

The one I been to (which is probably this one) had babies and toddles all over the place, mainly because their parents took them.

[technical180]

no its for kids and adults and u get game cards worth up to 20 dollars and the games are like really virtual as if you r like in them. its huge in there and they have a buffet and restaurant for 2 years old to any age they have a bar and so much other stuff its a great place to have partys. and its 10000000xxxs better than Chuck-E-Cheeses!!

[msheldon22]

wow so cool check us out at Providence, RI- D&B"S !

[gutchman84]

you can see two lost world cabinets that he doesn't mention at the end there

[richy72997]

if it is mar 19 then how com it says may 11th??????

[hollisterbabii28]

omg i wanna go to Dave and buster's (in TimesSquare NY) on NewYears EVE so badly..huge party!

[y0itsmags]

ive been to that d&b like 20 times hah

[Bladez646]

kevin...this D&B DOES HAVE DDR

[aj0049]

our Dave and Busters here in Rhode Island also has all 8 Daytona USA machines linked too... coindidence? i think not lol

[PressStartComic]

Sorry for the confusion. This video was taken at the Islandia NY Dave and Busters in May of 2007. The place has updated most of their games, but most are redemption machines.

If you want to see one near your area, check out their website, they'll steer you in the right direction.

[theforce301]

on a scale of 1-10 how would u rate D&B

[ham554]

is this in kansas city

[KevinFusco]

The last remaining arcade on Long Island in my opinion, Splish Splash and Adventureland don't count. And in my opinion, Dave and Busters isn't really that good. And I hate that they don't have DDR. If they did it'd be a lot better. Ugh, arcades died as well as roller rinks.

[kevi8587]

Where is this place ?

[iheartberserk]

i'm goin to d&b later today for Rob's bday!!!! 21 woot/./...>S>

[gameglitcher4]

What was your favorite game you played at Dave and Busters?

[PressStartComic]

Virtua Cop 3 and Virtua Tennis 3, at this location. They've gotten more redemption machines in and not much arcade games.

[gameglitcher4]

I would recommend time crisis 3 or daytona usa as my favorite games

[cartuner555]

i like Time Crisis and Ghost Squad.

[TheZombix]

My sister and I kept scanning for House of the Dead. About 10 scans and never beat the game lol.

[gameglitcher4]

Oh and you missed silent scope EX

[NateTheGreat555]

hmm...pump it up zero and they are up to seven...

pump zero was pretty much their most recent...

i don't think admirio (or however u spell it) can count correctly...

[gutchman84]

hey PressStartComic, I just beat Star Wars Trilogy arcade with 2 credits yesterday at an arcade.

[gutchman84]

that's kinda funny when this guy bashes Tokyo Cop by saying "Chase Headquarters without the fun" instead of just saying "Chase HQ without all the fun"

[DDRLover1993]

Islandia D&B's!

[PressStartComic]

Yes, and we shall be there tonight (12/8) for some Virtua Tennis and some lightgun gaming action! Be there!

[DDRLover1993]

Sweet!I'll try to be there!Wait,what time?

[DDRFreak410]

[DDRFreak410]

Make a video for when you guys get Virtua Fighter 5 at Dave and Busters

[knc1234]
