Post by: SeTTleR on February 14, 2011, 09:50:50 PM: Yeah, this thing is named "The King of Kong" and there is not even a Donkey Kong Machine? This is ridiculous. The artwork totally rules, but the classic machines are missing..

agreed , a DK is the bare minimum ! it's like having a pacman cafe without a pacman cab ...

Post by: DarthNuno on February 15, 2011, 05:37:04 PM: I would say the operator of that arcade had just the idea to refresh an existing game room. He got the 'King Of Kong' theme, but games were already there...But in that case, why pick up THAT theme... making such great decorations on wall...and put nothing related to it?!!!
Let's hope he plan to do it in the next step... someone have contact with that operator by the way?

World famous king of kong arcade where billy will be taking back his Donkey Kong record soon

I'd assume that means there will be a machine there in the future. Of course, it may be just for the duration of the record-breaking session.

Post by: Q*ris on February 16, 2011, 12:04:10 AM: You're right, it's just an usual lame airport arcade that basically ripped KOK's artwork.
Even the cheap "arcade tent" that comes once a year in my small village has better games...
Yuk!
