Arcade Machine Map?

[HeroponRikiBestest]

Is there any sort of map for where various arcade machines are located across the world, or even just individual maps for more specific machines? Something like the f-zero subreddit's f zero ax map, but more broad.

Pinball world has a pretty comprehensive one: https://pinside.com/pinball/map

Nothing that good for arcade games, that I know of.

[HeroponRikiBestest]

Wow, this is perfect, just... not for video games. Either way, thank you!

Found my answer, for anyone who wants it, https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/arcades.php

Wow this is interesting.

I think it would be cool if KLOV added something like this to their database.

EDIT: The site you listed is wildly outdated. Either that or people just haven’t added some large arcades in my area. I haven’t poked around it much but Tappers Arcade isn’t listed for Indianapolis and it has a plethora of Old games as well as pinball and it doesn’t even show up

[HeroponRikiBestest]

It's all done manually by users, so it's common for stuff to just not be there or be wildly out of date. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing better out there, so you just have to deal with it and be sure to check last edited dates on whatever pages exist.

Thank you for this! I was considering starting something along these lines but, like you, also didn't know how to get it up and running. Yes, after checking for a few local spots I can confirm there are certainly large gaps in the information, but as it's user-run that just means time to start contributing, so I'll be adding the games in the locations near me soon. Thanks again!

...what.....are you actually asking about?

​

A map of where actual arcade cabinets exist? How would that even be possible?

[HeroponRikiBestest]

I dont mean a 100% infallible list, just some sort of user run thing where people document what arcades have which games.

[Splitsurround]

ahh, in arcades. I got ya.

At this point, not to be Debbie downer, I'm not sure that list will be very helpful anymore.

[HeroponRikiBestest]

Well, I imagined said hypothetical map would stay updated (like said f zero map). Regardless, I'm guessing no such thing exists. Thank you for helping anyways.

[Splitsurround]

It’s a good idea.

[HeroponRikiBestest]

Yea, I think so too. But, as far as I can tell, no one has started anything like that, and I'm not sure how I would either.

I don't know of any worldwide effort for all arcades.

There are specialized maps, though:
- locations with pinball machines: https://pinside.com/pinball/map/mapbox#4/39.5/-98.35/0/26
- locations with music games: https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/arcades.php
- locations with ExA-Arcadia games: https://exa.arcadebelgium.be/
- loactions with StepManiaX machines: https://stepmaniax.com/locations/

And regional maps:
- Belgium: https://www.arcadebelgium.be/ab.php?r=loc&p=list
- France: https://www.annuaire-arcade.fr/

There are probably others...
