The sega and neogeo toppers are custom.
I didn't find a hidden gem, they just started the word on the forum and all forum members were invited to become a member of the arcade with the option of bringing a friend or two.
It was just the first weekend and not so many members yet. That will change in the future though. Some of us also donated some games because of the time and money that was already put into it, it seemed the right thing to do
.
We try to keep the crazies out and have a nice arcademembers club. The way it is setup now makes it legal.
Some of the 'staff' of the arcade also participated in the IC'09 in the uk and several other events we had down here. Really a great group of people who are in it for the games 100%.
It is only open on friday and saturday from 19:00 to 0:00, the guys running the show do have a family and a social life. Still it is completely awesome and only a 40 minute drive from where I live.
