Arcades that you like/liked to play Model 3 games at?

Postby GambitRogue777 » Sat Oct 08, 2011 12:27 pm

I am posting this thread, because I'm interested in knowing where your hot spot is/was to play Model 3 games. There's a GattiTown restaurant not too far from where I live that has The Ocean Hunter and The Lost World (cockpit cabinets), DUSA2, and 2 Star Wars Trilogy bench-sitdown cabs. There used to be ECA and Sega Bass Fishing there, too.

There's an arcade at WestGate Mall in Spartanburg, SC that has Scud Race, and an even closer Mr. Gatti's which has all the same games as GattiTown, except they have SR2.

I just want to know what your arcade hot spot is for Model 3 games.

This is an interesting question. I don't know what the US is like but in this country games arcades are like gold dust! There used to be loads at one time, and now they're either casinos, or very downsized! I used to like going to Sega World in the London Trocadero, in fact the arcade there used to be massive at one time; sadly it's now a thing of the past... :(

I also used to like going to the Vue cinema complex at one time, that's where I found Star Wars and the lost world. The funny thing is in those days I used to be crap at Star Wars, and now I can beat the game as a first place Admiral!

generally you can find allways a model 3 game in any arcade center. in buenos aires you will allways find a virtua striker 2 game, thats for sure ;).
in more important arcade centers you will find jurassik park and daytona usa 2, and in the best ones you will find all of them and scud race also scud race plus :D

The was a big one in Blackpool called Coral Island (next to the SeaLife Centre) which had pretty much every Model 3 game going.

ski champs at PAINTON pier but unfortionally the ski champ is in repair. ive seen it in their storage room, it had a missing ski pedal and a hollow moniter so im guessing that thats their winter works that they are currently working on and hopefully replace it with better parts :P :?: 8-)
