:( :( :(

Opened less than two years ago

I believe there was Beatmania IIDX 17, Jurassic Park, House of the Dead 4, DDR Supernova, 4 Street Fighters, 2 Tekkens, Ridge Racer, and my beloved Avatar pinball.

But I guess it had to happen considering that an extremely successful arcade (with some of the same games) is just a 45 second walk away.

Yikes...it's sad to see video arcades going away. I felt the same way when Chinatown Fair in Manhattan closed. The only arcade I tend to see nowadays are in tourist traps like boardwalks on the East coast.

Oh yeah I heard of that place on Classic Game Room. Looks like a warehouse.

And I heard that the games from the closed arcade are going over to the arcade that put it out of business. Oh, the irony.
