Okay, the king of kong arcade (oxymoron there) appears belongs in the top worst arcades in America.

I try to go to #5 Marvelous Marvin's Mechanical Museum at least once a year. It's a super fun place to go. I've taken a few dates there as well back in the day to see if they were cool or not.

Glad to be back. I've been out of the loop for a long time. I started a new project and have been lurking the forums for the last few weeks.

Of the three I took there all of them liked it. It's hard not to though. They have a ton of oddities as well as pinball and arcade games. The best part is Marvin is almost always there and every bit as cool as his museum.

What is Marvin? Sounds like an android... but i'm from Europe, stuff is foreign around here

That's Marvin. The owner. The last time I was there he gave us free popcorn because we made him laugh. I can't say it enough. He's an amazing guy.
