Two Bit Game Room brings classic arcade faves to St. Paul

[@psalwasser]

that nice young man is doing a great service for our great city. he has put alot of thought, work and $$$ into that venture. book that place for any occaision!

[@darrenmay43]

That is really cool. I happen to own some of these old classics games on an FC console system I’ve got at Home. It’s always fun to revisit some of your old childhood happiness times!

[@bruiserbong4001]

You called the N64 a “GameCube”! 😢

[@mphvideographer]

Blame the editor lol

[@Fluoride_Jones]

I noticed that, too, but I'm wondering if they do have a Gamecube. They have a Wii, which is newer (but, also easier to come by).

[@TheAlfrulz]

Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder. 😂

[@Fluoride_Jones]

@@TheAlfrulz I checked their website. They do, in fact, have a Gamecube! 😁👍

[@paxhumana2015]

@bruiserbong4001, ironically says the person with your username, but please tell me how much that you have contributed to the video game community again?

[@Zoyx]

I visited there last spring. I achieved Space Avenger on Gorf! Not bad for a 60-year-old.

[@paxhumana2015]

1:58, wow, I never knew that Midway actually made a dual arcade game cabinet of NFL Blitz and NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC! Those arcade machines must be rare, right?

[@OperationChicago]

Good for him man, wish he was in Chicago.

[@RobsRetroGaming]

Awesome looking place!!!

[@agentx5959]

Yep, I know the awesome feeling of owning an arcade cab lol I own a few pcb boards for my single cab :)

[@samamir8765]

Have a great time paying for repairing them that never stop breaking

[@YoursInYeshua]

Awesome!!!

[@stormmitchell2776]

Why do I keep seeing these old games as beautiful paintings from older times?

[@JayBuff19]

Hell yes!

[@dmo848]

Love this. Wish i had more money to open a business. Mine was too charge per hour as much as you like arcade with all the newer systems and old. Jus a huge kid hang out. I dreamed of this as a kid. 🤪🤔

[@Zeftilldeath8878]

Why by appointment only? Because of the location? 😂

[@euroyen420]

Yes, today, in biden/Harris demlib facist, their followers are uninhibited and want to steal or destroy and they're jealous of don't possess themselves ect.

[@Zoyx]

Only one guy and his family operating it. No employees. He can only open it up when he has free time.

[@Zeftilldeath8878]

@@Zoyx yeah I don't believe that. If you can afford all that stuff in there, you can afford an employee. This area is the litter box of the city. He probably got a really good deal on the lease to store his stuff and is making a little money on the side. Also, everything in his collection is probably a tax write-off by it technically being a business. Good for him though. I wish him success.

[@Zoyx]

@@Zeftilldeath8878 - Then why do you think he is open by appointment only? The one time I was there, his son was running the floor.

[@Zeftilldeath8878]

@@Zoyx so the random druggies aren't walking in and causing problems. I've lived a few blocks away from there most of my life. I know what it's like.

very cool

[@MarcusStewart-xy8hr]

I still have my original Nintendo entertainment system with Mario Bros duck hunt and super Nintendo and Sega Master system and Sega Genesis and I want to get Atari game system from 1987 and 1989 turbo 16 grafx and I like the old vintage video games from my childhood years and I'm 40 years old and I still remember going in the arcade room back in the late 1980s into the early 1990s those were very great years back then and I still remember all the video game commercials on tv and the Nintendo entertainment system commercials along with Sega Master system and Sega Genesis Atari turbo 16 grafx SNES those were very great years for all those game systems back then.

Surprises me how much this can compete with inflation (a quarter way back per play was great) and these collections going on sale for under $20 (2:30 marvel vs capcom has a whole collection for $35 with xmen vs street fighter). 2:02 subscription model at $50/person in a day is a good idea, especially delisted or not modernized stuff like NFL blitz. 0:58 nes world championships would be a prime example though nintendo hardly puts it on sale, and 3rd parties may not include the extras. I did get the goodies with the game (it's only speedruns, not full games, being on switch online that overcharged for the lackluster expansion but basic is cool with the 8 person family) for under $45, which $60 or $30 for digital only is insane. Arcade paradise vr is a nice feel but you gotta unlock the games (and laundry is kinda boring, let alone double dip if bought non vr, which controls arent really immersive in vr for in game controls), so this has an advantage.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

They said "$15.00 per person," not $50.00. Also, that's for up to three hours. You can pre-purchase gift cards at $10.00 a piece, however, which are the equivalent value to the $15.00 per person passes, and they never expire or lose their value, even if they decide to increase the cost of the three-hour passes.

[@MrVariant]

@Fluoride_Jones oh even better. Surprised they could set it so low at $15

[@Fluoride_Jones]

@@MrVariant There's another (larger) arcade in St. Paul, called "Starcade." They give you all-day pases for $15.00 each, and a wristband, so you can leave, then come back the same day. Plus, no appointment necessary. They have over 100 arcade units. It's really awesome!

[@MrVariant]

@@Fluoride_Jones sounds a lot more consumer friendly than the dlc and weak upgraded games to make you double dip like shin megami tensei v or ys proud. Thanks for the info. I suppose if antstream arcade can have an audience (I already have a lot of the games and you need to be online), so can this.

[@Suhadisgood]

Players choice is no different then playing them on the NES I have players choice on mame 32 on my PC it’s not an arcade the rest Pac-Man those are arcades but there is one problem they break over and over I own arcade machines also I stopped buying arcade machines I buy from arcade 1 up who gives more then just 1 game and never break

[@MrSAMISSERIOUS2]

Actually not completely true there were versions of Super Mario Bros were the levels were different and much more challenging

[@MovieiBox-yo2rt]

do you know how to turn arcade into bitcoins?

[@ryanlemley4866]

Im so jelous of this guy. To be able to be a kid again anytime anyday.

[@WheresWaldo05]

I don't know who the attractive dark haired babe is at the beginning but i want her. And looks like we are both in Minnesota. 😘

[@Zeftilldeath8878]

Yeah I'd play some Pole Position with her 😂

[@nicknelson1975]

Creepy

[@leakyjeep5.9]

That's all I play. Nintendo knock off for the win 👍

[@tommyebay]

Humm, a nice way to test older games before you flip em online

[@Deeptunester]

That guy looks like he enjoys them way too much to actually sell the cabinets themselves. He started out as just a collector after all.
