So Ya. I certainly had a good laugh reading all this stuff. and yes. my first experience with pacman was '82...my mother dragged my into an arcade in ottawa somewhere, I was 4. And thanks to all for making me feel so young.. It certainly does sound like any real commercial or other type project would be a no go in QC, not really surprising, but none the less, kinda sad, seeing how many classic machines are floating around the city. oh well. ill stick to meeting all you old farts...then try to make up for calling you old, and hopefully get an invite to your place..

You shouldn't feel young. I wasn't even born yet in '82! To me, you're ALL OLD!! On top of that, you'll always be older than me!

Yeap! and they had real girls like the one on your picture! Of course they were all over me and I had to ask them to leave me alone so that I could play pinball. I tell you the 80's were a drag!!!
Sorry to burst a bubble, but chances of opening a commercial arcade are slim to none. Quebec law KILLED arcades with licensing fees on machines. I have inquired with the government on opening something like GJD is doing in toronto with the arcade museum and found out quickly that Quebec don't want arcades. The paperwork for a non-profit organization is simply brutal, and in the end, it would cost at a minimum near 6-digits to get going... and I don't mean a Bally display.
The best viable solution remains MAACA and the MPL in Quebec.
What!? Does that mean you don't have any Fromagerie du Chucky in Quebec??
Ya I gathered his Young agae by his Mortal Kombat Avatar. and yes...talk to us once you have a couple kids. withing months the wrinkles and grey hair start. welcome to the real world...and welcome to your new favorite -"get away from the family hobby"
