Interesting. An arcade consisting of classic(*and a few 90s) video games is opening up in Minneapolis. This used to be near the twin cities' first "cyber cafe" and on the same block we had a "gaming cafe" me & a few friends were good in with the owners of.

So, when are us twin cities locals gonna hit this up?

Should be opening soon so I'm up for a trip.

[S1500]

I'll round up the locals as soon as I get back from Australia.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 seems a little out of place considering the rest of the games. Always good to see new arcades opening, regardless though.

Sounds interesting...I might have to make a trip over to see it.

The name 'Rusty Quarters' isn't exactly painting a very good picture, but awesome to see yet another classic arcade spring up. Best of luck to 'em!

Nice selection of games! I'm a few hours south in Des Moines so I definitely will be venturing up there to check it out. Thanks for the link/info.

Acelkin, is that Nickels place still there in Des Moines? Been a while since been back there?

Nice! Wish I lived in Minnesota again, I'd love to stop by this place.

I don't live anywhere near MN - but it is refreshing to hear someone's opening up an arcade. The arcade faces many challenges nowadays...but that's a whole other thread...
