New Location: Boss Battle Games (Indianapolis, IN)
I was going to make this post about two new locations but when investigating one of them that has opened in South Florida, they didn’t have any actual arcade machines, instead preferring to use emulators inside of some not-very-sleek-looking kiosks, so I’ll pass on them for now. Instead let’s move our focus to Indianapolis where a »

We are only a week away from Halloween, the holiday for candy lovers everywhere. I’m not sure what most arcades out there do to celebrate – I have heard of sites holding cosplay competitions before or just give away candy. As my venue is in a mall, they hold a big Trick-or-Treat event every »
The Next Racing Game From Play Mechanix & Raw Thrills: MotoGP

The Galloping Ghost Arcade’s Prototype Hunt
As mentioned in the last post, I was very busy last week with running the arcade at the Salt Lake Comic Con. Moving huge games like Star Wars Battle Pod, Dariusburst Another Chronicle or ReRave take a lot of time (and heap on the stress) so I might have missed something out there – »
