He probably spent the whole time wondering how much it would cost to ship all those machines to his warehouse. |

I'd been before and it was pretty much the same....its really pretty non-descript, not what you might imagine. Its in a small strip mall in the eastern part of the city, a fair bit off the strip. It looks like a large arcade, with lots of new and lots of older EM machines as well. All are in very nice shape. My bad luck that Tim Arnold wasn't there again. I played for a few hours though, and had the foresight this time to pre-order a cab. If you ever go there do the same! Cabs are IMPOSSIBLE to get off the strip, and when you call for one, they say 2 hours at least to get one!!! Try walking in 40 degree heat like I did in August of '06...not fun!!! I finally hopped on a bus, and the driver was pretty much ready to take me to the nearest hospital!! ( I tend to perspire a JUST A LITTLE more than normal!!!!).
I also played a Pirates of the Caribbean in a Sharper Image store for about an hour!! The store was dead and one of the salesmen challenged me to a game ( or six!). He kicked my a**! I like the game though....it grows on you. |

When we were there ( PHOF ) in October, Pirates was getting alot of use then, as well. It really does grow on you. My brother played that game for nearly the whole time I was there ( between 2-3 hours ).
I would recommend going there if you have the chance - well worth the effort. There were also games in the LUXOR, in the kids play area ( 2nd floor? ), titles then were The Simpsons Pinball Party, World Poker Tour, and a couple of other newer pins. Definately worth a look as well.

A recent topcast with Tim Arnold mentions that Pirates is his top earned (besides the fancy vertical 3D clown pinball machine). Even besides Spiderman, Pirates wins out. He doesn't offer much of a rationale though - but it seems Pirates earns better than Spiderman. Wonder if that's theme or gameplay - or both. |
