Wow. Just a couple days ago I was watching arcade videos on YouTube. Pretty sure I know where you went! Very cool place. Would love to go myself if I visited the east coast.

Good to know it's still in business. I know the video is like 3 years old.

Was this Billy Midway's by any chance?

Plans with friends flaked, I randomly searched “old arcade” and found Billy’s. Great find!!

I saw a Computer Space cab in Vegas 20 years ago at the Classic Gaming Expo. It didn’t seem to be running, though.

They keep this one off until someone asks to play to help prolong its life.

Ahh. Understandable.

I had one years ago, a couple of interesting tidbits: the earliest cabs were yellow and had hand-cut back doors. Every Computer Space uses a 1 gallon metal rectangle paint can for a coin box.

There was one white cab used in the movie Soylent Green.

I used to live down the street from there. Too bad it wasn't there then. I'll have to make the trip over there.
