  1. I will be glad to donate for a game that is of interest to me. When I have zero interest in a game, I can't justify making a donation.

  2. Thanks for your future support! What games are you looking to see come to Rusty Quarters? The Top 5 requested games that Rusty Quarters management gets is Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons and Mr. Do. Is there one that you're looking for that's not in that list? If so please comment! We're always on the lookout for new titles, and once we have one in our sights we try our best to bring it to RQ!

  3. As I've noted before, the 4-player Pac-Man game is awesome, but the full size is too big for the current RQ space, and the units are probably far more expensive than I'd imagine they should be.

    I'd love to see the classic Dragon's Lair game again, but it probably wouldn't be the wisest acquisition. Or perhaps I'm wrong.

    Games I think are a lot of fun that would be great to find in an arcade: Elevator Action, Crazy Climber, Jr. Pac-Man, Pac-Land and Off Road. Off Road might be the most practical purchase to make. Ms. Pac-Man is the most popular of the Pac-Man games, but Jr. Pac-Man is more fun. Pac-Land is totally different from the rest, but a lot of fun, and I'd go out of my way to play one again some day.

    I'd also donate to the purchase of one of those 48-game cabinets. I've been told that none of them are legal for use in arcades, although I saw one recently in a Wisconsin resort game room.

    1. Looking to see if we're able to get Elevator Action at Rusty Quarters. We've found an available cabinet, but the problem is that our funds our tapped. We're working on fundraising efforts though to see if we can get it before the cabinet is sold to someone else. Thought you would be interested in the update!

  4. Holy crap, Zap Arcade allegedly has Pac-Land! I gotta make a road trip!

  5. Very cool! Zap is a great arcade down in Jordan. They too have a great variety of games and the crew that run Zap have created a great small town wonder! Here's hoping that arcades like Zap, Rusty Quarters and other classic arcades continue to flourish!

  6. Amen to that. I don't go down that way very often, heck I rarely make it to Shakopee, so I have yet to see the place. I wish time and money were unlimited, but reality dictates otherwise. Knowing what I know now, I will definitely make my first appearance this fall.
