Mister80 3 years 1 month ago Posts: 64	For those New Jerseyans out there, and anyone else in the Northeast that likes visiting Jersey... a new arcade called "Yestercades" just opened recently in Red Bank, NJ (home to director Kevin Smith, and neighbors Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen). This arcade has ALL retro games... including the following favorites: Donkey Kong Pac-Man Asteroids Double Dragon Space Invaders Galaga Pole Position Defender Dig Dug Wrestlefest Gauntlet Popeye Donkey Kong Jr. Frogger Mario Bros TMNT Simpsons Operation Wolf Rolling Thunder and plenty more! I'm just trying to get the word out there to 80s arcade fans on here that live on this side of the country. If you do, come visit the place and tell your friends! I have been there twice so far and it's awesome! The games are all on free play, and they just charge you for how long you are there. Here is the link to the website: http://yestercades.com/ And here are links to youtube videos related to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVOcI9oxJMA (short news story with interviews with the owner) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_hbDEbgJOI (video walking through the place) They are also on Facebook so LIKE them! I'm just trying to get the word out because I want it to do well. :-D

They have every good old school arcade game I could even think of plus an entire upstairs area devoted to nothing but pinball machines. And the best part is, it's a "Barcade", a bar and an arcade.

There needs to be a retro arcade in the Chicago area. That would be great.

Hmm, bout a 2 hour drive. Looks cool. I sort of like small arcades though. Not big ones.

Besides I'll probably just play the pinball machines and I'm sure there's somewhere in my city that has a pinball area.

System 3 years 29 days ago Posts: 74809	There's an excellent arcade in Tacoma, WA (about 40 minutes south of Seattle) called "Dorky's". Yes the name is very odd, but I'm willing to bet it's one of the best arcades in the entire country. They have pretty much every retro arcade game ever made there, and plenty of modern games too. Here's a video from Pat "The NES" Punk about it. He went to Dorky's when he was recently in Seattle for PAX: http://thepunkeffect.com/?p=3134

Mister80 3 years 26 days ago Posts: 64	I've heard of Barcade, and Dorkys looks pretty awesome. But sadly we don't have those over here. This place is as close to retro as we can get! The grand opening of the place is this Saturday 11/12 (it had a "soft" open already). So Jersey people or visitors come on out! They are only charging $15 for the whole day, plus raffles to give away PS3, Wii, and even an Atari! Ha! Can't wait. And if they do well enough, hopefully they'll add a bar like Barcade at some point. But Red Bank has bars all over town so it's pretty easy to go to a bar then stumble into Yestercades (I've done that already in fact). =)

I think you actually commented on my profile about a year ago stating how cool it was that I was also from Portland. lol
