Arcades in Boston?

We're taking a road trip to Boston and I'd like to stop by some arcades once we get there. If you guys know of any in the area, post 'em up; specifically ones with SF3:TS. Thanks. BTW if one of you guys want to meet up and chill that'd be cool too.

When will you be in Boston?

The 23rd and 24th of this month.

None in Boston

But about an hour south from Boston there's an Arcade in Woonsocket RI

You must... MUST go to Good Times! It's right outside of Boston, in one of the suburb cities. I am sure someone here could give you exact directions. I was there last August and it was probably one of the best arcades I've ever been to. Not only did they have all the latest and greatest (we went to play SvC that night, but there were a ton of MVS games there as well), but they also have tons of classics! The place is gigantic, has gambling areas, paintball, basketball, older classic machines, sims, tons of redemption machines... Truly a great arcade.

listen to nruva, he knows his shit.

Goodtimes is where you want to go. There are definitely a few problems with the place (kinda ghetto area, kid got killed there a few months ago, shitty upkeep of the machines), but like nruva said, they have a lot of games. There's good variety too: schmups (Raiden Fighters Jet woot!), Slugs, a couple KOF's including 2003, Wangan Midnight and Initial D, all the old school dedicated cabs you could want, and much much more. And yes, they have Third Strike. And double yes, they serve beer. Oh wait, you didn't ask about that...

It's actually in Somerville, not BOston, but it's super-close. Their home is http://www.goodtimeemporium.com/ and you can get directions depending on which way you are coming from on Rt. 93.

If you need any other directions or have questions, you can always post here or PM me. Have fun, man!

Good Times would be an excellent place if it wasn't the choice hangout spot for annoying drunks, drug dealers, ghetto thugs, and all other various sorts of low-life scum.

It's good for sporadic visits, but the local fauna tend to kill the desire to make frequent visits.

Tokyo Game action in Woonsocket RI is the place to go
