A place more to my liking is a micro-brew called Sideswipe that has a whole arcade inside, but you pay to play. Still, the beer is great and it's just a more fun place to be.

Also, I haven't thought about the Night Driver game in years. It was amazing at the time that they could give that driving illusion with just road markers. It probably sucks to play now. LOL
I want to get a Cyberball 4p tournament edition for the house.

There are a couple of different ones here in Columbus - 16-bit Bar+Cade and another one on the far northside of town. Or rather there was before Covid hit - I wouldn't be surprised if the one on the north side is dead.hotseatgames wrote: Columbus, Ohio has a couple of those, one of which is called 16-Bit Bar. Drinks are priced as expected, and there are a few good machines.

Spending some time in one of those places will definitely show you what age does to your reflexes. I used to be okay (not great) at Robotron and Defender, but now it's just "Exactly how fast can I die?"
Side note: Columbus also has/had a couple of board game cafes, one with its very own "Board Game Sommelier". Which is a nice concept, but the term is about as pretentious as it could possibly get.

I was a Centipede whiz in my very young days.

Kingmaker, right? I have been there. I believe I even named a card in an upcoming game I am making after them. I should probably call it Guard Tower, I'm much more likely to go there.

I dragged my wife and daughter there one time, just to show them what it looked like. They were terrified that I was going to actually make them play a game.hotseatgames wrote: Kingmaker, right?

The Guardtower is nice. I live about 10 minutes from the one on the west side. Great selection, and the prices are reasonable. Covid has chased me off lately, but I try to swing some business their way. When I played Magic, we played there in that big back room they have on Friday nights.
