From what I saw, Ring King in the arcade didn't have the same unintentional perversion that the NES version had. Damn.
WWF Superstars! One of the great classic wrestling arcade games, and I'm happy to
report that I played as the Ultimate Warrior and kicked the Honky Tonk Man's ass.
SKATE OR DIE!!!
You won't find to many arcades that have been in operation in one form or another since 1959.
Again, this place should be turned into a historical landmark.
Why they would want to sell a perfectly good Rygar cabinet is beyond me.
This old palm reader actually looks kind of scary. Don't let the rainbow of colors fool you...
word on the street is
if
you press the male and female buttons simultaneously, it swallows your soul and you become one with the machine.
Now here's a great thing to show kids who may be future paintball enthusiasts:
SHOOT INNOCENT ANIMALS WITH YOUR PAINTBALLS TO WIN POINTS!
Ok, so the skunk had it coming...
HAPPY BALLS! HAPPY BALLS! HAPPY BALLS!
Some more classics that you can't go wrong with.
And just as I reported in my big Top 50 Arcade Cabinets article, Paperboy's rubber handles were predictably stolen.
The war on terror begins and ends in arcades with Target: Terror.
I always relish the opportunity to play Jr. Pac-Man since it's not one that's common in most arcades.
Then again, neither is the classic Stargate machine at the end of the row there either.
The mammoth 6-Player version of X-Men!? Next time I visit, I'm forcing 5 friends to come along with me just to
play this game all the way through. They actually had TWO of these bad boys in the arcade, but one was shut off.
Can't go wrong with some Street Fighter II action... unless the game isn't turned on.
There were plenty of other fighting games for those of you with an insatiable bloodlust.
The original sit-down riding version of Sega's Hang-On. Accept no substitutes.
More colorful classics including a vintage Asteroids machine that was in great condition.
The sit-down version of Road Blasters! I haven't seen this in an arcade in ages!
I can't say how much for sure, but many a quarter of mine found their way into this machine on that day.
Somehow I think the T-Shirt giveaway that was programming into this thing way back in 1987 is no longer valid.
But hey, let me know if you enter the contest and hear anything back, ok?
Do I want to hunt deer or dinosaurs? Man... that's a tough decision.
Of course, no arcade is complete without a selection of cheap prizes you can win, but
Super Bear Arcade goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to selection as you'll soon see.
There are still many more
Super Bear Arcade photos to see!

Also... I must have that Dracula.
What's funny is that the Mr. Gatti's closed shop on one side of the street and opened on the other side with a bigger overall store, bigger game room, but most of the same damn games it had nearly 15 years ago when I first went to the particular Gatti's location, but hardly any new or additional games except a DDR knock-off with some sort of USB thumb drive capability. Not sure what the game was called and I'm probably not going to Gatti's anytime soon.
I'm sure a little internet research at work and then use my vacation time, I can actually make it my job for like 5 weeks. I need to play tron, I'm also going to replace all of the handlebar grips on Paperboy.
That said, this article also made me feel a little sad, because I remember a time when arcades with the beautiful selection that this one has were all over the place, and now they are not. Even the chain arcades that were part of a package of things, like Chuck-E-Cheese or Putt Putt were awsome then. The "arcades" these days, (Dave and Busters, Gameworks, and the others of similar vein) just do not compare.
But on a lamer note, I have played Target: Terror. Imagine Area 51 minus the aliens...and more terrorists. Plus it takes like, five minutes to load a stage.
The Addams Family pinball machine"
That is also one of my favourites, together with "twilight zone", "pinbot", "Circus Voltaire" and "Elvira and the party monsters" 8)
Good article btw.
I didn't make it to the Super Bear on my trip this year, but maybe when I visit for Thanksgiving I should check it out again.
Oh, and Creepy-critters:
That's my mall. Yep, I live damn well near right beside the place. Another thing you've got to know about Sparkles is that it has this fabled Addams Family pinball game inside! ROCK ON NOVA SCOTIA!

When will humanity learn that it's wrong to imprison wild animals... inside a country as crappy as Ukraine? WHEN!?
oh arcades... how fun you are.
I did have some fun with Skeeball, and Hercules Pinball, even though since it was a regular sized ball getting falls was a lot easier. The Air hockey was messed up too :-/
Dude, that arcade rocks! I wish the one I used to frequent in my youthful days didn't close (it's now a sports bar - ugh!).
*cues up Forever MAME*
Man, you never realize what you had until it's gone. As sucky as that mall was...actually, it wasn't sucky. It was awesome. I'd trade all the GAPs and Bed Bath and Beyond's and Targets to get just one day at the Susquehanna Valley Mall in 1984.
I tried the Crayon and regretted it. It smells like dust and wax, they got that part right...but not like crayon.
