And here we are, just at this corner...welcome to Joystix !!!

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/pictures/usa2009trip/joystix_2.jpg)

...ok Barry, but... what's Joystix?

"Joystix Classic Games and Pinballs has been serving Houston and surrouding areas since 1987. Our first machine was a stuffed animal crane and a two car garage served as our workshop. After years of continual growth, we know have one of the largest showrooms in the country. We carry most major manufacturers products in the amusement industry. We always maintain close to 250 classic and new arcade games, pinball machines, jukeboxes, air hockey, dart machines, photo booths and much more in our showroom."

Wooww... sounds great  :-* :-* :-* Wanna go in...  8)

There is a bar, and to access the game room, there is a 15$ entrance... and you can play all the games, there are in FREE play mode  :-*

We are EXTREMELY lucky.... because that game room is open only TWO days per month (first & last Friday of every month)... and today is ... one of these two days  :-* Barry, you are a genious  :-*

 :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Let's go in now...

I can imagine that you had a great time there !

My all time favorite for the PC, this is where the firstperson shooters started for me (i think it's also the first that really is 3d, i mean in wolfenstein you could not look up and down)

I didnt know they had a dedicated cabinet for quake !  I love it !   :-* :-*

Yeah....isn't it always great to make fun of bigger than average people......Ha-ha-ha.

Pathetic.

Maybe we should start making fun of Walons, or maybe Italians....No wait, I know a couple of great Belgian jokes, and let's not forget to laugh about our German friends.

And, I can always laugh about Asian people too....man, they're hilarious.....

Well, I didn't know either... I must admit I didn't pay attention to it ... :oops: ..., my priority was ... the 'Classics' of course  :P
I even didn't try it, but you can see some footage in the video. There are also more details on klov about it  ;)
In a general way, I don't think FPS games can be played on an arcade cabinet... or maybe inside of a new environmental cabinet 'a la Disc Of Tron' ?

Yeps  :-*

What I really like on the video is ... we are really discovering games in real time... I've started to shoot with my small camera (bad video quality, I know  :oops:) immediately after entering the place... and so... we were like kids discovering new toys... no cheat ... The time was 'stopped'... I didn't pay attention to the rest... only the games matter (I hope Darth Nunette won't read this  ::) :P) ...and the best thing for me was to experience this with you, because I believe we are the same... still 12 years old boys in our head and crazy arcade fans... it really was a magic moment, a 'feeling' I didn't expect to live again, I mean as an adult (I hate that word by the way)  :-* 

The second part of the video is ready, I'll upload it tomorrow  ;)

I don't think so eather, i never played with a trackball, just with mouse and keyboard.

But its one of the best FPS there is if you ask me  :P

wow, incredible indeed!! and thanks for all the photos... no one else will take that many but you!! if someone else went we'll be lucky to see 5 photos from a camera phone (no disrespect to anyone here, that's just a general observation and the number of photos nuno would normally take).  :spaceace:

this has to be the best arcade i have seen for a long long time, i would say maybe even better than arcadefever's game room!!  ;D ;D ;D ...because of all the pinball machines, it has just edged it for me.

so a few questions (as always).

1/ how many hours did you stay there??  ;)

2/ how come it only opens twice a month???  :-\

15$ for unlimited play... ab-so-lute bargain!!  :spaceace:

1) --> NOT ENOUGH  :oops:  ;D Maybe less than two hours? But it was like two minutes... there were so many things to do : pictures, video... and finally... enjoy the games : playing them, ... but we were very tired, it was our first day in Texas... so intense  :-*

2) Some of these old games are a nightmare to keep up & running ... I believe they wouldn't resist a 'daily' use... that's the reason why they open only twice a month. In addition, the exploitation of these game is not their main business. But it's very cool they do that  :-*
