And here's the Bally's 



Yes ! There's a game room inside 



The games here look in very good condition :









A classic here ? ...mweell...



...like inside most of the other rooms, the Galaga/Ms Pacman reunion 



One pinball :



Wow... A MANX TT... It's been I while I didn't play it  Ok, let's have some fun   



OK, now the serious stuff at Vegas... GAMEWORK   



Wow... 8 SUPER DELUXE INDY 500 cockpit   





All the games are in their *deluxe version*    





A nice room 



In the middle, a lot of monitors... it looks so 80s 



Yes !!! A Namco Turret Tower !!! It's the first time I see this game for real    But impossible to play it now... a guy won't stop to play on it  Ok, I'll come later ...



Some pins :



One word : HUGE 

Check it out 

[DarthNuno]

Impossible to show you all the cabs here... too many 

There is a 'House Of The Death' dedicated room  Here's the entrance :



3 house of the death 4 + all the other HOTD version are here ! Impressive  !



And here's the classics section !!! 



OK, not the original cabs, but hey ... kids can play Moon Patrol in 2008 !!! GREEEATTTT !!! 



Asteroids powweerr !!!



Few CYCRAFT motion sim 



Cranes opss... no, it's now : UFO CATCHERS 



A funny game :



Ok, back to the Turret Tower... I use the card to put a credit and ...



LOL... Let's call 'The operator'... he does a power off/on, and apologies for this... and he puts SIX credits 

I played the game more than 25 minutes !!! I've a headache now  I'm too old of this one I guess 



A house of the Death 4 *special* ... inside a dedicated theater :



WHat it that ? WOw... I didn't know it exits  It's a Jurassic Park 'The Lost Word' Theater !!! 



Of course We have to try this 



How to start the game, Mr 'operator' ? 



...and this is it... We had great time in LA & VEGAS... and of course not only regarding games 

The bad thing : We missed the visit to the pinballs museum 



...the last game I played in USA ... is this one... in the Vegas airport :

The fire fighter game is really coo, i played a few times on it ...

[Sonic 1992]

I know that they didn't have any DL or SA... But that classics section says it all! The most memorable games are there!

I think I remember them being there as of 1999.  (our first trip to Gameworks).

Definately a trip to remember!  Hope you had a great time!!!           

[ElPancho]

I wish I knew you were going to be in Vegas, otherwise I could take you around some distributor warehouses.  Last time I was at one, they had a working Space Ace.

Did you get to the Pinball Hall Of Fame?

His pinball pictures are way better than mine.

Argh... ok .. next time I'll go the Vegas (I guess next year), I'll contact you 

Nope... I misses the 'Pinball Hall Of Fame Museum'  This one is not located in the Strip... and we haven't not much time

You and me both mate.

I'm back in the UK now, but you never know I could go back for a visit but later when CAX is on.

Ouch... who wants to restore this Pac Man from this point ? I would like to, believe me   

That is actually an original Nintendo conversion. Zenomorp (on KLOV) just fixed his and even has the kit manual for Ms./Pac-Man. You can see his project here

Wow...  Totally amazing... Nintendo did such conversion kit

Ah, good thing you got to see Westwood's arcade while it was still alive. Here's what it looked like as of a few weeks ago:

It's very sad, considering I used to go there all the time! (they used to have Motor Raid too, which is my favorite Model 2 game besides Daytona...)

Hello Slonie, and welcome to the DLF/ALS board 

Does your picture shows this Westwood's arcade based in Los Angeles ? 



Oh my god  ...
