Looking for Asteroids video game in SoCal

[BillyIdol]

I've been searching for the Asteroids arcade game to play forever. There used to be an arcade on Allen and Colorado in Pasadena but they turned it into a furniture store or something.

Quick story:

I found an Asteroids game in a 24 hour 7-11 in New Mexico, and I ended up playing for 26 hours straight. I had ships lined up across the screen. This was in 1983. Damn, I love the 80s!!! Everytime I had to use the restroom, I lost about 7-10 ships.

Well, do you know of a place that has Asteroids, and while you are at it, Ms. Pacman and Galaga? I'm looking for arcade games not computer games.

Do you want to challenge me to a game of Asteroids or Ms. Pacman? My high score in Ms. Pacman is 609,000.

Thanks!
John

Did you try these guys? They're in Glendale, CA, and deal in original restored coin-op games. They were featured on the History Channel in one of the 80's shows. There are a couple Asteroids machines listed in their inventory.

Golden Gopher (bar) in downtown LA used to have some table-style arcade classics, Ms. PacMan included. Totally fun to sit around, drink, and get your nostalgia on :biggrin:
