Inside The Worst Videogame Arcade In The World?

Posted by simoniker on from the ever dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Arcades may be a dying breed, so it's a good thing the crusty hotels around the world haven't put the axe to their old game rooms. An article at X-Entertainment provides a lighthearted review of one of the worst hotel arcades out there, featuring broken video games and enough stains to make every joystick in the place off limits."

    I seen worse, lots worse. Good places to look are small time airports in the back rooms near the gates. Dang.

    We perhaps still need some way to signify this, but fortunately for Matt, this isn't a mainpage Slashdotting, but a games-sectional Slashdotting, which is more like a breakfast kipper to the face than a large fish slapping you into a canal, if you get my Python-esque drift.

    Or unfortunately, if he wanted the traffic, I guess. YMMV :)

  3. Touchmaster 5000 by hiroshi912681 · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've seen a lot of these games... I do believe it is the "Touch Master 5000" (possibly the 3000?) from Midway. It has a variety of games built into it. One of the best games on it is Quiz Wiz. Well worth the 25c. And if you get the top score, you get a free game. You'll find card games like solitaire, word games, chess, checkers, and weird mini-games...

    I don't believe it's emulated... which is a shame, there aren't enough cool quiz games in English to play
