Movie Theatre Games

While going to the movie theatre I was happy to find a game corner with some arcade cabinets, even if the games weren’t the greatest and I didn't bother playing them. Actually, the best of the bunch, Time Crisis 3, appeared to be out of order.

They also had a working Ghost Squad and another Sega game I’d never even heard of before, Motor Raid, along with a few other machines not worth mentioning. It seems that movie theaters and establishments like House of Targ  (see my previous post), are the last bastions of hope for old arcade lovers in this part of the world.

House of Targ

Ottawa's House of Targ is a cross between a concert hall, restaurant/bar (specializing in perogies), and video arcade. They are well stocked with various classic pinball machines and retro arcade cabinets. Most notably, they had a dedicated Mortal Kombat cab!

The crappy video below from my iphone shows the complete line-up of games, save for a few cocktail cabs I missed. I think that a Neo Geo 4 slot and Konami 4-player cab would really put this place over the top.
