The only one I know about is on south street. South and 8th street, I think. Wait there's another one in center city. Sorry I can't be more descriptive, its been a while since I've been to these places. Oh also there is a Dave and Busters on Delaware Avenue, but you have to be 21.

The arcade seems to be a dying thing. I found out today that the Time Out in a local mall closed up after like 14 years (the first place I ever played Neo).
There's Dave and Busters and Gameworks, and a couple places in the Franklin Mills mall (don't recall if any of them have Neo).
I'm out in the suburbs - the only Neo machine I know of is in a bowling alley in Warrington, PA. Has Bust-A-Move, Shock Troopers, some soccer game, and something else not worth remembering.

Willow Grove Mall has a cab,I think...It's been awhile since I've been up there but they usually would feature the latest KOF,MS and none other than Puzzle Bobble.
I was up at a Bowling Alley in Landsdale that had a nice dedicated cab with KOF 2K,Puzzle Bobble,Metal Slug 2 and something else but the joysticks were basically dangling from the panel(no kidding)shame to because it was a NICE red dedicated 4 slot cab in excellent condition
I have to grab a couple or at least one dedicated cab in the future once I relocate.I was thinking about getting one of those mini cabs but they're equivalent to a Jamma Gun as far as I am concerned.
The last time Neo Geo was popular in this area was '94 and interest steadily dwindled down to one being surprised to see one somewhere earning $$$.

Challenges has been closed for awhile.
In fact, i bought the Neo geo machine and 2 others from them a few months before thay closed.
It came with Bust A Move, Strikers 1945, Metal Slug and Metal Slug X at the time.
but sadly, i have yet to see another Neo cab anywhere in philly, and the arcade in center city has also closed.
Only other place i can think of is the arcade on 40th and spruce by the Univ of Penn.

At least the cab is in good hands now
I wonder hat happened to that nice Hyper cab they had up there...I believe it was a dedicated Wild Ambition cab..
Wonder why they closed it down???
They have a Cade up there in Cheltenham Square mall but there are NONE and never have been as far as I know any Neo cabs up there..
I am kinda wondering how they keep their doors open as well...IT's A DUMP or did they close down too?? I guess because they are near a movie theater it helps but again,IT's A DUMP cluttered with huge driving cabs and a few interactive machines.
