Inside The Worst Videogame Arcade In The World?

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.

    This is nothing. At least the game machines had the correct sidepanels and banner titles, and no one was currently having *sex* on them...

    Bad memories...

    Now I feel very bad for Matt, the site's owner. The site is already popular enough...but now the link for this article has made its way to Fark (as much of his work does) and to Slashdot.

    Poor Matt...say goodbye to your house. You'll be living in a cardboard box from now on... :)

    What, you don't remember the infamous Chex Quest? It used the Doom engine, but really looked like something Wolfenstein would be ashamed of. It even had two sequels.

    I guess it is weird enough to escape a "worst of all time" label. But it should garner a "best of so-bad-it's-good." Sometimes you can find them online.

    My parents are both postal workers. One day I was vititing them and noticed that they had some arcade machines in the break room. One was a shooting game. The poor trigger had been worn down to a nub from all the people playing constantly, shooting villans and innocents on the game.

    nah. That's not totally true but it would have been hilarious if it was.
