There's actually a decent arcade up in the Greenbelt mall, near me.. they have Cap vs. SNK 1 and 2, Third Strike, SS 4, and a nice variety of other games. The sticks, when broken, get fixed pretty quickly, too. The owner's a nice guy; he's pretty good at " Tekken " .
Ooohh... You're giving me sad memories... the arcade I used to go (had only KOF2000 and Tekken 3, but that was very good then), had very good competition (I've made very good frends there), and the guy in charge was very nice, and also very good at Tekken.
Then, in January of 2002, it closed, and 4 months later the only other arcade that had anything other than lightgun and racing games. We have never had great arcades here, but we lost the little we had...

down here in Houston, Texas, we've got a cactus that plays music and dances when you put quarters in it. we spend most of our day placing action figures on the cactus and betting on which one falls off last
Ha ha!
Dude, did you get the sunflower with the sunglasses on it, or even the awesome Coke can with sunglasses? Both dance to music, and both are awesome games! Ehhh... just kidding.
I know the feeling, though. There's a few arcades in Memphis (only at the malls), but I go to college in Mississippi. Mississippi sucks in just about every way, which means no arcades. The nearest mall is at least an hour and a half away. There used to be a crappy arcade in the student union (it even had a bowling alley!) that had Darkstalkers and Samurai Shodown 3, but the machines were in such bad shape that I never went there much. The new Wal-Mart here has an arcade, but it's the "super fuzzy non-violent redneck arcade" with only racing games and stupid deer hunting and fishing CRAP. Bleh.

My campus rec room has a MVS system with Metal Slug 2 and Aero Fighters 2, one of those Ms Pacman/Galaga combo machines and a few other games no one plays. The town has an arcade, but no one's ever there and I can play MvC2 and SF3 by myself at home for free.
My Campus Rec Room is a ton crappier than it used to be at the University of Arizona, ever since they demolished the Old Student Union, the new one leaves much wanting... Anyhow, they have an MVS with Bust-A-Move, Shock Troopers, and Metal Slug 2. I keep trying to play the latter, even though it just eats my quarters each time. They also have CVS, SFZ2, and other things I forget at the time being, but, anything I want to play here, I can just go home and play the newer, updated version.
