>once again arcadians i am pleading with you to purch- i mean come and play at the arcade museum
>it totally is worth the 15 pounds, despite people donating cabs
>it is nothing like john scamcock's invisible museum
>once again arcadians i am pleading with you to purch- i mean come and play at the arcade museum
8 pounds sounds fair if the play is unlimited
Is this $15 an hour or $15 for entry? If the latter, it's an amazing price. At $15/hour though lmao lol no thanks
15 an hour is fair to work at an arcade. Everytime I go to one the attendant is mostly sitting on their ass. easy money.
>15 an hour is fair to work at an arcade.
Sounds awful. You can look but cannot touch. Imagine this sexy cabinet teasing you every day for eight hours.
that's true, also everyone haveing fun around you and your stuck working probably messes with your head after a while.
Yeah, I talked to an arcade owner who either had this game or the sequel. According to him, he primarily got rid of it because you can't shut off the attract mode audio.
>Alex Crowley, 51, has been collecting games for 15 years
Found the kiddos problem. If he was actually the "aficionado" he's claimed to be, instead of just some youtuber gay, he'd have had this whopping museum load of 40 cabs long ago. But being a bandwagoner grifter he had to pay ebay.co.uk prices and beg for the other 37.
>Is this $15 an hour or $15 for entry?
No
What it actually is seems like an OK deal, especially for oi me speccy land, and given the shit state of the sterling.
are those pieces of paper on top of the cabs how they justify calling it a museum?
>Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?
The comeback is just as fitting here
You were once an adult with an IQ>50?
>..Soooo...
into the redditbin it goes
I got all the games i need on my mister. Sorry buddy
yeah you could buy a mister, or spend 40 hours at the arcade museum for the same price
lol
last i checked it was about 124 usd per hour (100 pounds)

you have to specify what games you expect to be ready in advance, so please if you're a richfag, request Tempest and Pole Position because they're probably both dead
>40 arcade machines and counting
How long does it take to count how many machines you have? Did they really stop mid count and were like “let’s put 40 on the website for now and keep going”? Seems fishy.
40 isn't really a ton for an arcade, what's the deal with that? I've got two local ones with about 100 machines each.
'## and counting' is a pretty standard turn of phrase to describe something that is always increasing in number, so he's basically saying he has 40 machines but he's always acquiring more and so the total number of cabs he has is always increasing in number.
I can only assume you're ESL dumbshits if you don't already know this.
This is the same board which has users who have meltdowns over people saying so-and-so game aged poorly - not because they disagree, but rather because they don't seem to grasp the meaning of a piece of media not aging well. Just as likely that they're concrete thinking autismos as they are ESLs.

He was obviously joking, the other two replies being "ironic" retardation should give it away.
>People acting retarded are actually just being ironic!
I was like you once...
Holy shit why.
I spent quite a bit of time in the smoke filled, dirty UK arcades in the late 80s and early 90s. No way I’d pay that sort of money. At this point the nostalgia of a cab is worthless. Just use MAME.
>last i checked it was about 124 usd per hour (100 pounds)
check again, retard.
>you have to specify what games you expect to be ready in advance
says nothing of the sort (that i can see).
have fun on your little 15 pound arcade history lesson
>says nothing of the sort (that i can see)
you dont sound too confident
NTA but where did you get $100 an hour from lmao sounds like you just straight up asspulled it because this br*t upset you (I get upset acknowledging that br*ts exist and unironically walk the same earth as well)
>you dont sound too confident
anon obviously can't find where your schizo shit is written on their website. retard.
>he's still crying about this
not my problem that you cant find it, i posted source and wont spoonfeed you any further, if i'm wrong about the pricing feel free to correct me
i will give you a hint, the prices are in pounds so you will need to convert it to USD... think you can manage that?
>last i was retarded
Brits are extremely slow. Also they can only count as high as the number of fingers and teeth they have. 40 is basically a "unicorn" for them.
>btfo
>waahhhh
many such cases
Not joking before he started this barcade stuff he was a big CIB SNES collector he had some major titles like Wild guns, Hagane and super turrican 2. Around 2019 he sold me a Pocky and Rocky 2 CIB with a fake label (it was a good fake I didn’t realise at the time) he threatened me on eBay that he would phone the police if i had tampered with the cart. He eventually accepted the return and he resold it and some sucker bought it.
This is wild to me because it seems like the RMC guys upstairs are pretty chill, are they scammers like this too?
>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO LET ME ONTO YOUR PROPERTY AND USE YOUR STUFF FOR FREE
My astute colleague from the PRC gets it
*Peoples Republic of California
Not for free, but asking for $15 is too much and is money-grubbing behavior. It should be done on a "pay as much as you" basis, since we're talking about history and preservation. Rich people can afford to pay $100, while people like us should be able to learn for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES for $1. That's a fair price in reality since I can get all these games on Internet Archive for free.
1000 people a day x 365 = $365,000. Anything more is greed.
Ask me how I know that you're definitely a business genius
How did you know?
even a barcade near me has 50-ish machines, 10 pinball, 3 deluxe cabinets (outrun with hydraulics etc etc) discs of tron environmental for $10 admission. Guess having a liquor license goes a long way
liq license is the key, people want watering holes and stuff to do meanwhile. bonus if you sell sandwiches
I don't know about you guys but arcades are basically fucking dead in my country. I would absolutely LOVE to visit this kind of place.
...Soooo... is this thread basically people being angry that freeplay arcades that charge admission exist?
How wonderful is your life that you have the energy to get angry about that???
