A friend and I went to Dave & Buster’s, a U.S.-based arcade chain, for Christmas.

We were delighted, and even a little bit overwhelmed, by how rad the place is.

It’s… quite cool, actually!

You hold a “vacuum” as your gun.

The cabinet has superb surround-sound effects.

Have you had the chance to check it out?

In all my years of attending gaming conventions, Ive never seen anything like it.

All fantastic games that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else.

Of course, it wouldnt be a Japanese arcade without rhythm games.

I also didnt know there were so many train engineer games.

There were several different train simulator games, but this one was by far the most elaborate.

Another surprise: typing games.

LVL UP Arcade Games

There were some incredibly rare games at the convention, too.

The one at LVL UP Expo may have even been the same one.
