Grinkers Grand Palace
Permanently Closed-gone |
Eagle, Idaho, United States | 5/5 | Easily my favorite place anywhere. Grinkfest was always awesome. Still upsets me when I think about it closing. Date logged was my last of many visits. |
| Gizmo's Arcade & Eatery | Astoria, Oregon, United States | 3/5 | |
| Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade | Portland, Oregon, United States | 3/5 | Most of the classics were blocked off while we were there :( |
| The Big Apple Arcade | Las Vegas, Nevada, United States | 3/5 | |
| Pinball Hall of Fame | Las Vegas, Nevada, United States | 4/5 | Some great pins you won't see anywhere else, just cross your fingers they're working while you're there. |
| The 1UP Arcade Bar (Lodo) | Denver, Colorado, United States | 3/5 | Decent modern games and a row of pins. Most of the classic games were multiboards and/or had LCDs installed, and sever weren't working. Recent photos I've seen look like things may have improved. |
| Family Arcade LA | Los Angeles, California, United States | 4/5 | |
| Tilt Studio Katy | Katy, Texas, United States | 3/5 | Not the Tilt of yesteryear, more like a mini D&B at this point |

Houston, Texas, United States | 3/5 | |
| FunPlex | Houston, Texas, United States | 4/5 | Fame City was always a blast as a kid. I haven't heard great things about Funplex, but as a kid in the 80s, this place was amazing. |
| University of Houston Student Centers Games Room | Houston, Texas, United States | 3/5 | I haven't been since I was in college but it was a good little place with a decent selection of games at the time |
| Tornado Terry's | Keller, Texas, United States | It counts if I showed up with hulahomer to buy a game from him right? | |
| Eighty Two LA | Los Angeles, California, United States | 4/5 | Came for the Supercade 2.0 release party, stayed for the games |

Malibu Grand Prix / Castle Golf and Games
Permanently Closed-gone |
Houston, Texas, United States | 4/5 | My main arcade go-to as a kid since I grew up just down the road. Pretty typical putt putt golf and other rides, but at one time the game selection was pretty amazing. |
|
Exhilarama
Permanently Closed-gone |
Houston, Texas, United States | 4/5 | I had several birthday parties here growing up. While the rides and laser tag were arguably the main attractions, there was a pretty good selection of mostly [then] modern arcades and of course redemption games. |

Tilt (Northwest Mall)
Permanently Closed-gone |
Houston, Texas, United States | 4/5 | My rating is a bit skewed mainly because this was the primary small arcade I spent my time in as a kid. I recall the SFII hype and witnessed the sudden learning of specials moves there. Later, I fell in love with T-Mek at this location, which would go on to be one of my grails. |

Tradewinds Roller Rink
Permanently Closed-still there |
Houston, Texas, United States | 4/5 | My home away from home in the 80s and early 90s. I believe this was the first place I played Donkey Kong and Mario Bros and, much later, TMNT. |

The Game Preserve

Houston, Texas, United States | 4/5 | The original location was nice little place that I was lucky to visit once before they moved. |

Mr. Pixel's Classic Arcade
Permanently Closed-gone |
Houston, Texas, United States | 3/5 | |
| Quasars Arcade | Corpus Christi, Texas, United States | 3/5 | Pretty nice place overall. Solid selection of pins, lots of rail shooters, and a fair selection of classic arcades. Payment is similar to D&B: load up a card and swipe at each game. Exact prices are somewhat masked in this way but tend to range from about 0.60 to 2.00 or so per game. |
| RETRO | Corpus Christi, Texas, United States | 2/5 | The pin selection is decent though several were either down or needed minor maintenance while I was there. Most 'classic' arcades were actually multi games with LCDs in repro cabinets. Many arcades had no audio or partially non-working controls. All told, there's very little to justify the $15 admission fee and nothing truly "retro" about this place. The bar seemed decent, it might be an okay hang out place. I didn't try the food. |
