classic arcades
« on: February 08, 2015, 09:44:48 pm »
I am planning on visiting LA with my family either this September or September next year. Does anyone know of any classic arcades in LA that might be worth visiting? Cheers

Go to this one:

Neighborhoody and nice selection of games. (Touch the side of their DK cab, it has this weird "bumpy" texture and in a shade of blue that I've never seen before. Didn't leave the factory that way, but it's interesting.)

That's guys, that's a good start. Never touched a DK cab before - I anticipate it will be akin to a spiritual experience.

Well flights are booked and paid for.  :)
Just need accommodation now. Although I'm sure a family sleeping on the streets is safe in LA.
