Morristown Game Vault review (Morristown, NJ)

[CreeB]

(this review is proxy of YexxenBlaster..   GO DAN!)

 

I just left Morristown Game Vault. It's in Morristown, NJ, and I heard Billy of Billy's Midway mention it when I called him up after I visited there (he said it had Return of the Jedi.) So I told mom to take me.

 

It's in an old bank, and it has the common games, along with two '70s B&W games: Clowns and Gun Fight (another sample from "Computer Game.") There were some rarer games like Donkey Kong 3 and Gaplus. There's pinball and some newer games like Virtua Fighter 4, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, and Star Wars Trilogy (upright, unlike the cab at Hersheypark.) Some of the pinballs were modern too (Marvel pinballs, etc.)

 

I played Dig Dug, Gun Fight (surprisingly good at it for a '70s game), Clowns, Rolling Thunder (I wasn't scared of Mabu, even though I literally exited the game as soon as I lost my last life on MAME yesterday), Star Wars (they had an upright and a cockpit), Sinistar, Xenon, Gorgar, Gaplus, Time Pilot, Fix-It Felix Jr, Tron (this game is unforgiving), Asteroids, and Marble Madness (trackballs are HARD.) 

 

Also, I like the interactivity they had. There was a TV above The Simpsons showing Simpsons clips, a TV above Frogger showing the Seinfeld "The Frogger" episode, and a TV above Tron showing Tron Legacy. I saw these on Arcade Memories' channel, and I completely forgot those were there.

 

It was a good place. Funspot still tops it though.

 

 

(And they had a Playboy pinball; I knew there was an old lady on the backglass, but I just realized she looks like Granny from Looney Tunes. HAS HEFNER BEEN DOING GRANNY?!?! WAIT TILL TWEETY FINDS OUT)

Thanks Cree for posting this for me like you said! (We talk.)

 

I filmed a video of it that I'll hopefully upload onto YT along with my Billy's Midway one. Any good retro arcades near Richmond that carry 1970s games??
