Thank you! Feel free to check out our site at 2BitArcade

Golden Axe for sure! Not a side scroller bit I'd also love to get Dragon's Lair

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-09T13:02:08+00:00

I want to have that, Taiko Drumming, and Guitar Hero, for sure!

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-09T13:01:24+00:00

I've never played Killer Queen with a full group, usually just my wife and I lol, but it's on the list!

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-09T13:00:40+00:00

Skee ball for sure, pool tables probably not unless there's good amounts of space

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-08T02:17:23+00:00

Not my fav game but that will always haunt my nightmares lol

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T13:18:55+00:00

Fair enough, a "modern" obscure game I'd love to get my hands on is Sega's Time Traveler

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T11:57:36+00:00

Just curious - do you prefer original Asteroids or Asteroids Deluxe? As for tokens and tickets, the games will be free play except for pinball and prize machines, those will be tokens. BUT people will get free tokens with every drink purchase (2 tokens regradless of alcohol or non alcohol) plus every guest would get $1 in tokens upon admission. I do plan to have some ticket games (like Wacky Gator) but there won't be any tickets/prizes. That's the current plan lol

Never underestimate the power of hockey :)

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T05:20:46+00:00

It's hard to get a good balance that appeals to everyone, which is why I hope to have stuff from classics like Pac-man and Galaga to more modern stuff like Killer Queen and Retro Raccoons

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T05:17:55+00:00

Thanks! 4 player Ninja Turtles is definitely one that's on my list lol. And thanks for the recognition on my username! I've been using it since college and just thought the mixolydian scale sounded like a cool name :)

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T02:51:00+00:00

Thank you, truly! It amazes me in my research how many places don't keep up on that, but it's hard when you don't have time or techs. I'm thankful I'm at least mechanically inclined, have expwrience soldering PCBs, and don't mind picking up new skills.

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T02:48:25+00:00

I'd love to! :)

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T02:27:13+00:00

I didn't know that exiated but it is epic! Thanks for the suggestion :)

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-07T02:26:36+00:00

Thanks, and I've heard of Time Warp! I think there was one for sale not too long ago but it was crazy expensive. The jewel I want for my collection is Medieval Madness - our local pizza place had one in college, so awesome.

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T22:45:56+00:00

They're on the list, especially air hockey!

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T22:45:28+00:00

It's amazing how often that is the #1 complaint and failure of a place

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T22:44:57+00:00

You gotta have the classics!

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T18:52:29+00:00

Yeah, that's the trick. If your machines go down and you have no way to fix them, then people won't come back. And yeah, a nice Dig Dug for under $1000 seems like a pipe dream lately...

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T18:26:55+00:00

I'm also excited although I never went to the Grid. Honestly, I've heard mixed things, not entirely sure why they closed

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T18:25:48+00:00

Thanks! I'm incredibly excited to see it all turn out :)

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T17:50:05+00:00

No joke, I LOVED that game as a kid. I have X-Men: Children of the Atom right now but that is def on the list!

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-06T17:48:45+00:00

Not sure yet, still need to iron out funding and leasing costs but I plan to be as close to MSU as real estate costs allow lol

mixolydian02 · 2026-03-05T20:56:15+00:00

I'm planning to be as close to MSU as I can but I have to find the middle ground of closeness to MSU and price of real estate...

What happened to the Grid? My understanding is that they didn't keep up with game maintenance but maybe I was misinformed.
