It's been a while since I've been there, but I know at one point they had a PIU Exceed and/or a DDR Solo Bass. Not a whole lot worth playing at the arcade, plus they charge you $2 to even get into the place (unless they changed that too). |
Yeah, I'm pretty sure when the Premiere Palace (an old movie theatre for the non-locals) closed, All Star bought their Solo Bass. Assuming it is the same machine, it's not in bad condition, but it's still a Solo Bass.
I've never played at that particular All Star, only the west side one with a SN. I can tell you the west side's DDR machine isn't very well-maintained, and I would imagine the same goes for the east side one, but that's just speculation.
I can tell you that there's a core group of DDR players here that do a lot of traveling to play ITG/other bemani (the only music games that exist in this entire city are DDR and Pump), and if either All Star were to put forth some effort to attract the bemani community, especially by bringing ITG, they could probably attract a decent crowd. (And I actually don't like ITG personally, so I'm not just saying that because I want it.)
One other thing is that All Star isn't really a typical arcade. Both locations rely on a bunch of outdoor things (mini golf, go-karts, and I think the east one that you're asking about also has amusement park rides). I know the west location is only open seasonally unless you call and schedule a party or something; that might be true of the east one too, but I'm not sure.
And like Dave said, according to their
website they charge a $2 admission fee. No way I'm paying that for some Solo Bass. If they didn't charge admission for their game room, that might be different.
