Did I mention that there was a Chuck E Cheese's next to the Boomer's place that was also torn down?

Nolan Bushnell would probably be rolling in his grave - if he were dead. :P

The Boomers here has Japanese IMPORTS! There's a Dragon Ball Z Super Famicom game. I shit you not.

Speaking of modern beat-em-ups, did anyone here try God Hand for the PS2? Any game that plays a laugh track when you kick someone in the nards is pure gold, in my book.

Fired up GOD HAND last night and holy shit....what a game! It makes fun of Fist of the North star quite a bit which is awesome but the script is just plain hilarious. You fight these two fruity bodybuilder types (modeled after the Cho Aniki series) and before it starts they ask "what do you think of our outfits?", your character Gene retorts..."Does it look like I give a shit?"...BOOM fight starts...FUCKING SICK! I also kicked this guy straight across a road into a house and the whole porch broke off the house and crashed on him....awesome.

I love Streets of Rage 2.I live near Hampton beach so there is like 6 or 7 arcades within a 10 mile radius of me(more like 5 miles really).Two weekends ago me and my wife went to joes playland and they got a good mix of games from different generations.After playing galaga, which is required, we put like 10 bucks into the simpsons arcade game...yeah we both suck at it but it is awesomely fun.

A long ass time ago, there was this Simpsons arcade at the Whiskey Pete's hotel we stayed at that would give you 48 lives for a couple quarters. :P

We'd put, like, four & the lives would read '99' & stay there.

Tomorrow I'm heading to gamestop to pick up more 9.99 and down ps2 games so I'll keep an eye on that title. I always find good cheap games in that 9.99 section hehe

supposedly a brand new copy of GOD HAND is getting hard to find. Even if you find a used one I'd recommend you pick it up.
