Games You Have Seen Out On Location

[Jumpman1981]

This is a topic of those games you've seen out in the wild, be it in a game room, hotel, seafront, etc.

 

Games I've Found

 

Ms. Pac-Man. (Original), Found in an arcade full of mostly redemption games.

Attack From Mars. Same Arcade as Ms. Pac-Man

Cirqus Voltaire. Same Arcade as Ms. Pac-Man

The Simpsons Pinball Party. 3 of them!, One at an airport, One in an Arcade, One at the seafront (Sadly the one at the seafront was out of order)

The Flintstones. Found at a Spanish waterpark, didn't work most of the time

High Speed. Same Place as The Flintstones.

Jurassic Park. Same Place as The Flintstones.

Donkey Kong. Not really an original, it was a JAMMA cab made to look like a DK. Found at an HMV

Revenge From Mars. Same HMV as the "Donkey Kong"

Star Wars: Episode 1. Same as the first Simpsons

 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Are we talking like, ever? I have seen basically 95% of all US arcade games ever released; probably most people here have.

 

If there's some kind of recent date cutoff, I *was* surprised to see an original Ms. Pac-Man cocktail table at the thrift store literally down the street from me, but the owner wants $1,800 for it. It's still there...

I kinda meant like games you've wanted to see on location and have found them unexpectedly and games in places you commonly wouldn't find them

Basically, half "yes i've finally found that game" and half "huh, cool, didnt know this place had a X"

I've seen hundreds of arcade games scattered throughout hotels, gamerooms, malls, stores, gas stations, and elsewhere!

These rare ones were in my local arcade.. 

 

SOLAR FOX

 

PAC-LAND

 

SPACE FURY

 

ROBOT BOWL

 

MAJOR HAVOC

 

Robot bowl was the last remaining b&w video game they had.. i never played that game usually because it scared me.. only times i would usually do it was with a buddy.. there were a FEW times i would man up and do it myself, , but then i'd have to play solar fox afterwards to stop feeling on edge.. robot bowl finally got removed in '84 or 5 and i was so relieved.. but then solar fox went a year later (i forget what replaced it).. so disappointed that day..

Many of my favorite arcade memories were the games on location at the Bucks Lake Lodge. Since my family has a cabin here (I'm there now) I'd get intimately familure with whatever game they had at the lodge (the only beacon of civilization for miles around) by the end of the summer season.

 

I don't think I'll ever forget what was there... If it was a game I liked anyway...

 

Mr Do's Castle (cocktail table... First game I ever put a quarter in)

Tron

Satan's Hollow (I remember thinking this game was actually wicked and haunted somehow, kinda awesome)

Tapper

Off-road

Ghosts and Goblins

Altered Beast

Moonwalker

Darkstalkers

 

Any of these games I would love to own because the nostalgia is SO strong.  Although maybe not the Moonwalker or Darkstalkers... Although both were fun I'd probably prefer a good old Street Fighter II since it was such a phenomenon during the school year growing up. I found out the other night I can still kick ass with Chun-Li.  With me behind the controls, she will stick her heel in your face until you submit.

 

Also at "The Lodge" were two pinballs that were fantastic, and I would love to own someday...

Jokerz and Fun House

 

These pinballs... Especially Fun House... Oh the thrills and good times they provided for 25 cents!!!

I remember when chuck e cheese's opened near me they had PUPPY PONG.. this was 1981 or 2.. had a good time playing it with a friend,, while other B&W games still made me nervous,, pong didn't because of the SNL sketches..
