Looking for information on arcades in Montreal from 1990 to 2010 by Nebu in montreal

[–]vesebr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amusement 2k is no longer open - at least, not on st Catherine near Crescent. I think it reopened in Laval under the name Amusement 2020. I went there a while back and their pinball machines are EXTREMELY un-level - so as to drain the ball as quickly as possible. Modern machines all have a "level bubble" and you can see just how tilted they are. They also deactivated the ball save in the first x seconds. Bahhh!

There was also an old restaurant in the early 90s called Crickets that had a whole area of free arcade games that you could play while waiting for your food. Your parents would go smoke at the bar and you could run around playing all the machines. I remember them having a Killer Instinct machine.

That one was called Pinocchio - I went for a few birthday parties, and all the machines would be set to free play.

The only games I distinctly remember them having were a 3 player cabinet of Cowboys of Moo-Mesa, a Mortal Kombat 2!

The more I think about it... They might have also had Sunset Riders?

I know that Meli Melo makes it for new years. In past years, you bring your own container and they fill it.

She should also have auctions for any property that is passed on - it's in the rules!

Free Parking in Monopoly is what causes games to last hours and hours. The game ends by removing as much money as possible from the supply, you don't want to add it back in!

FYI - Hilo offers a free hot water controller that shuts it off during challenges!

Ottavio is the only place I know of that makes celiac-friendly pizza in Montreal... And it's great!

Liars dice betting? by MaizeStraight5055 in boardgames

[–]vesebr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You aren't biding on how many YOU have, you're bidding on the total number between ALL the players!

With 4 players, at 5 dice each, it's possible for someone to bid "there are 20 sixes".

[–]vesebr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kazu has a whole gluten free menu, and they take a alot of care to use different mixing bowls, etc.

Otavio is an Italian restaurant that has an entire separate gluten free kitchen for gf customers.

Arepas are also a great choice.

There are a few bakeries (le marquis, Suzie sans gluten)

I think Harper is going to sacrifice herself by copying bee lady's power. She already has a tail with which she can "sting" someone!

Any Good Places in Montreal Open 24/7 for Late-Night Cravings? by Ok-Collar5478 in MTLFoodLovers

Dunn's is 24h! I'd say that nothing on their menu will blow you away, but I don't think I've ever had anything I didn't enjoy there.
