Hey guys,
I'm in Portland this week and have not been here in about 10 years. I'm happy to report that arcades here are still a thing - and I can also tell you that it's fucking glorious to see a room full of cabs, that are busy with people both young and old (both male and female) actually playing and respecting the cabs. Heaven.
So far I've been to "Ground Control" (http://groundkontrol.com/) which is fucking awesome. Beers are for sale (maybe weed too as Oregon just decriminalized it), and the games are just $0.25 - and we're talking classics here (no, not Keith Apicary's Talkin' Classics). Pinball too. Even my fiancee is stoked to go back and play a few rounds of Bust-a-Move with me on a real cab instead of my CMVS.
I've still to check out the 3 or 4 other big arcades here, but I'm pretty happy already.
Here are my questions - with all these cabs in use herein Portland, there has to be a nice source of JAMMA PCBs for me to potentially buy. Does anyone here know of a place where I can pickup some JAMMA PCBs?
w00t!
