Went by tonight before dinner at the Pit. Nice place,doesn't seem quite finished. I would imagine more games are coming. Bar staff very nice. Cool place. Not as good as the Baxter yet. But time will tell.
Nice!!! How funny, I literally JUST got back from the Baxter bar / arcade in Chapel Hill. Spent hours there, and many a quarter. ******* (((LOL it censored f r o gg e r!!!!!))) is a lot harder there than on the PS1 lol I love the Baxter though, so I can imagine this one will be just as epic. Will have to check it out maybe tomorrow.
The lone "yelpster" reviewer didn't seem too happy that some of the games were "emulators" in new cabinetry. Do you know how hard it is to find and afford some of these vintage machines? These things go for big bucks these days. A restored machine from the 80s runs upwards of 5k. So what if some of the games are Mame 32 type emulators. The place looks like a fun spot to go after dinner with the wife. Now my question is; how does the craft beer menu look?

With the correct control panel, a MAME emulation is the same as the original. It runs the exact same code. (MAME=Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.) The only difference would be the game cabinet.
Some of the games were in original cabinets,some were not. Not that big of a deal. At least to me. I just hope they have more games coming. Seemed to be missing a lot of classics. Punch Out and Mortal Kombat II for example.
