      Man it's too bad you aren't near Indiana. Next month there's gonna be a con setup as a celebration of Jerry The King Lawler and Memphis wrestling. With a crap ton of great wrestlers there. The Steiners, the Hardys, Ricky Morton, Jimmy valient, Ron Simmons, so many I can't even name all. Plus they're gonna roast Lawler. 😂

      Game Terminal is more like an arcade cabinet collection, just the cabinets. None of the games seemed to be running on original hardware/CRT monitors. It was all emulators(PC?) hooked up to LED TV's.

    Holy shit, John! Thank you for shining light on this place! I'm a huge retro game fan and have lived in Portland for 15 + years and have NEVER heard of this place! I'll be checking this out asap. Game on man!

    • @JohnRiggs

      I've heard of it as a 'after PRGE we should go here' but after PRGE I usually just drive straight home. Glad I had time to check it out. Will definitely be back.

    they have a black tiger cabinet! (easily my all time favorite arcade out of capcom's early days) and I had heard about the row of converted moppet cabs, one with SF2... so bizarre! definitely wish I lived in portland I would certainly be trying to frequent that place as much as possible!

    Place looks sick. I love the decor and cleanliness. Real bummer seeing all the widescreen lcd mods though. That always makes me sad

    • @Dorelaxen
      @Dorelaxen 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Original CRTs are hard to get and stupid expensive. We're going to reach a point in the very near future when there are none left. The LCD solution is the way to go in the long run.

      I did. They had Vendetta which is the sequel, though. I'm sure they have a warehouse they swap games out at times, too. They had a few games in a corner that were under repair so I wouldn't doubt it if they had a stash of other games, too.

    Wish I would have known about that when I lived in Maple Valley. Went down there a time or two to get Abby's Pizza in Gresham. I'd play me some Dig Dug. What I'd really like is to find a Trog arcade machine. There are a few in Utah Valley, though they are as much a mix of old as new, including one a couple blocks away that I haven't got around to visiting.
    Don't know if you ever heard of it but there was (might still be) an arcade in downtown Tacoma called Dorkey's. Played some Rampage there.
