Spectar Videogame 1980 NEED: Color Adapter PCB. When I acquired the board, this PCB was missing. Thus, unplayable.
Venture Videogame 1981 NEED: Exidy 8-way joystick. Currently using a sturdy 8-way black ball-top microswitch stick from Mike's Arcade retrofitted with a 3D-printed adapter I designed. Works great, but it's not .. you know.. the same.

Grinkers Grand Palace Eagle, Idaho, United States 5/5 RIP. So many friends I still talk to daily, I have met here. Incredible selection of games, many of which you would have found nowhere else. Friendliest cast of characters were employed here. The most fun game room ever in existence. Yes, ever.

Supertrack Family Fun Center Houston, Texas, United States 4/5 RIP. Had a lot of fond memories here. Found a fiver on the stairs once!
Token Smithfield, Ireland 3/5 Decent game selection both vid and pin. Few games had LCDs. Quite expensive to play here! But they have token options depending on how much you plan to play rather than the typical $10-15 door price seen elsewhere. In a way, it may be ideal if you don't spend $15 in virtual quarters/tokens some places and leave. Several things were interesting of note, there appears to be an actual Donkey Kong cabinet with a 25" CRT crammed into it. It's insides are unknown to the public eye so I can't tell if it was a 60-in-1 without rebooting it. Bubble Bobble was some variant I was unfamiliar with. All of the enemies were wildly fast. Screen kinda flickered at the top while playing. Street Fighter 2: CE's P1 stick could use a replacing. Simple moves were not always pulled off. Pin selection was great, in the basement with a few more vids. Difficult to get to one at the time. Played Simpsons Pinball Party. Right flipper was weak. The food was delicious! If you are indecisive at the bar, there's a wheel with choices you can pay 12 euros to have spun to decide for you. I got a shirt!
