Madison Wisconsin

[@ryanmiller2143]

With that wristband for $15, you can come and go all day long. I love Geeks Mania. It's the best arcade around.

That orchestra of them all on and running is music to my ears. Really brings me back just hearing them.

I live here and went to Geeks Mania when it first opened. It was way too loud, only 1 room and too many machines were out of order. Then about 2 months ago my son's friend had a bday party there.

Back in the day, there were always 6 players playing on the 6 player xmen Arcade machines in my local arcades, so I mostly never played the 6-player version, but I was in awe of it when I first saw it in the arcade. Everything from the graphics to the loud boom sound when an enemy was defeated to the scream of the first boss when you defeated him was just so ahead of its time, or at least that's what I thought
