The layout of some of the machines
- The layout of the machines can be reorganized better to allow patrons to walk around, check out or watch other players or wait for a turn. I was boxed in while looking for shooting games by two groups of plus sized women who didnt get the idea that they should move.
More diverse arcade game selection.
- Fighting games are fun and sociable i understand that but not all of us grew up with willing neighbors or siblings to button mash with. The only game that fit my genre was House of the Dead and the right controller wasn't calibrated or lost calibration so anything 2 to 3 inches from the left side of the screen were free to kill me.
Environmental Controls
- Anyone that's a geek knows that running high performance equipment generates a bit of heat. A space say...a large room filled with A LOT of equipment of various types, designs, and functions generates A LOT of heat, now throw a large number of people into the mix and you have a tropical environment of heat, humidity, and smells. Ventilation is pretty decent near the back toward the DJ and the dance floor (thank the gods) but with the open doors and ID checks the front of the establishment is just REALLY friggin hot.
* Sustains
Games at the bar
- Good way to settle an argument between folk having drinks. Better then a subtitled TV show or movie or news. Fun watching others play and encouraging them.
Music
- Old school hip hop from the 90s and early 00s. Didnt hear any of today's garbage. Very nice
Overall the place is pretty cool. The idea of having a club/lounge/bar that revolves around playing video games is a fresh idea and Insert Coin pulls it off quite well.
Personally i wouldnt come back. I applaud the owner's vision and efforts but today's generation of..."people" completely ruin what is suppose to be a fun environment.
