Over the weekend Mason and I zipped down to Dallas to visit my friend Justin. One thing Justin wanted to do was take Mason to Gameworks, located in the Grapevine Mills Mall. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gameworks is definitely a new school arcade. None of the machine there take quarters or tokens; instead, everything works off of a “game card” that you swipe at each machine. I’ve never been a fan of game card systems as they cause you to overspend and it make it hard to keep track of how much money you have left (which is probably the point).<\/p>\n

Justin and Mason jumped right in on some House of the Dead 4 action, blowing away zombies. Mason played a little Beach Head 2002<\/a> and he and I took turns on the Star Wars Pod Racing machine. (I only took 4th place. The force was not with me.)<\/p>\n

In the middle of the room stood two motion-controlled games (Initial D) which Mason took a go at. All I can say is, it’s a good thing that game has a seat belt.<\/p>\n

From there, the three of us headed over to the pinball tables. There weren’t too many to choose from (five or six), but they did have Family Guy, South Park, and the Sopranos, so that was fun.<\/p>\n

As far as older games go, there basically weren’t any. I saw one lone Frogger machine in one of the company’s custom conversion retro cabinets. I didn’t get a picture of it, but here’s a picture of the same style of cabinets that I took at the Gameworks in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other than Frogger, the next oldest game I saw was Mortal Kombat 4. The place is definitely not geared toward retrogamers. Then again, I have a place dedicated to retrogaming in my backyard<\/a>, so I really shouldn’t be complaining.<\/p>\n

One good thing I should say about Gameworks is that I didn’t see a single broken machine. I didn’t experience a single button or joystick that didn’t work. It looks like they really stay on top of maintenance there. <\/p>\n

Anyway, fun times and a cool place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
