St. louis.

Crestwood or nearby areas. There are a few arcades there. It's about a 1-1.5hr drive.

yeah i know that there's quite a few in St. Louis (Dave and Busters = t3h w00t and Ameristar has one too, I think)

But I was kinda aiming for something a bit closer

Well you can hope that there could be an arcade in the Havner center. The campus has lots of gamers and DDR people so it would have support.

That's all we need: a room full of sweaty gamers who don't know the existance of the substance known as "soap" running around breaking shit the rest of campus has to pay for.

At least the other people in the dorm would have some more quiet time. LOL

Just treat the arcade room like a pool, where you have to wash off before you enter.

so basically what you're saying is, all the sweaty losers from TJ come ONTO campus, and bug the shit out of the people who moved out of the dorms to get away from those fucks? Yeah... fuck that, play ddr in tj, it's much easier to jack off to it there, than in public. You keep them, we dont want them.

I don't think there are any in the area, but you could always try out mame. It emulates most all arcade games up to 1995. And if you want an authentic experience, you could look into building your own cabinet. I converted a space duel cabinet this summer and cost me about $300. So if you are looking for any help, you can PM me.

Edit: Also, they have a pretty nice arcade at Brady's in Mizzou. If DDR is your thing, they have 2 machines, they also have a 2 slot Neo Geo cab up there. Last time I was there they had Metal Slug 2 and Neo Turf Masters in. Also up there is Soul Calibur 2, a couple of capcom fighters.

Okay, I'll get the bandwagon moving. DDR is gay, and everyone stinks!

although I play DDR once in a while (I'm by no means good, or a fanatic for that matter... but doesn't make the occasional play out of the question), it's not really the reason I ask... ah well, I'll probably just go to that Ameristar in St. Charles
