eric_ruck Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 A friend passed this on to me, just thought you guys would want to know: Greetings staffers,this is a reminder to the video game dept. and all others interested. Up in State college ,PA. Playland the only video arcade in state college that has been in operation for 32 years is closing and selling all their cabnets,boards, etc... the date of the auction is DEC 12 (FRI)or 13 (SAT)I will check on that but it starts early in the morning I know that for sure. {Originator contact info removed} Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maibock Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Ok I just got off the phone with the manager who's been there for 30 years(wow) The auction is 12/13 @9:00 am.. you can preview the games between 7 and 9 Unfortunately the state of affairs that we all know with arcades is coming true with these guys. They've decided not to renew their lease because of lack of business and the newer games are much more expensive and they get less of a return. He's emailing me the list of games and I'll post it as soon as it's received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydian Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I could potentially go check this out if I have some free cash by then. I was sad when a 2 slot Neo Geo went locally on ebay for $250 and I didn't have the cash to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they have quite a few NeoGeo games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
