LMAO! My joints were the coin-op Disney animated video games Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Remember those? I probably threw a month's wages down those slots, lol.

I used to work in a videogame arcade. We had Space Ace, Dragon's Lair(they were the creations of Don Bluth of American Tail), Choplifter, The Legend Of Kagi, Kung Fu Master, Ms Pac-Man, Pac-Man World, Budweiser, Hogan's Alley, Cheyenne, Crossbow, and others. If I had the money to invest, I'd open up a video arcade complete with as many video games as I can find, pool tables,refreshments and pinball machines, and a jukebox. Sure, it'll be old school, but it will be comforting to those of us who remember the old days like I do. And interesting to those on the home gaming systems.

Thanks for the info. I don't know why I thought Bluth was affiliated with Disney. Those games were revolutionary when they came out. I remember Crossbow as well. That would be a great idea to open up a vintage arcade. Homestead, North Miami Beach or Fort Lauderdale would be awesome. Or, if you did it on the beach and offered alcohol, boom! You'd have a regular mint on your hands.

If I had alcohol serve in a place like that, the kids would not feel safe there. In high school, our band director opened an arcade. It was intended for all the kids in school. And it was a hit for a while until an unsavory element came in. The arcade closed down. It was up against another arcade in town. But that establishment had the best games in town. It was because they were black market games. I think the beach is a bad idea, but, I might look into the possibility of a waterfront location. Maybe I might open up more than one and a 24-hour book store like Barnes & Noble's or Borders, or a movie theater that shows classic movies on weekends at midnight. I had been thinking of these things for a long while. It's all possible.
