Wow, incredible find Ully, and especially here in germany! Who knows how many of these lost places are still there?

I like the Galaxy Ranger very well... :-*

Mehhhhh, such a shame it was all legal,,you take the fun out of it ! And no great "Sundance" thread.....:(

i know andré, i just wanted to make sure not to have the cops show up at my doorstep suddenly :-[

Another amazing find, wonder how you get those locations.

i will tell you guys hopefully soon!

I wonder even more why someone in the 80s actually put those machines there.....and for what ??
I mean the games were not making any money anymore, why not just scrap them ?

there is a reason behind why they are exactly there, believe me, but once again you will have to wait, otherwise i would give away the location - which i don't want to do as of yet!!! sure you understand
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

or if you don't want to read through 130+ pages full of crap and accusations, here's a short version!

Nice story Ully. And I noticed a modern electrical saw in one of the pictures, so I guess you came prepared.

I want to make a guess about why and how these games came there. They were put there intentionally in the eighties because they were illegal gaming spots. If I am correct, visiting arcades in the eighties was (almost) illegal for the youth in Germany, so kids who wanted to play these games had to go to secret, hidden places. Kind of an underground movement.  ;D

I'm fascinated by abandoned buildings and I'm really looking forward for the full story (and even more pictures).  :spaceace:

After this amazing teaser, I hope we won't have to wait long for more...

Aiaiai! I haven't been here for a couple of months for boring reasons, and I just knew that there would be a reward in coming back to the forum: Ully, you never disappoint.  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
All I wanted was a Pepsi!
