Oh well, no use complaining ^^
Dream Machine was kinda inferior to Cyberstation anyways. Cyberstation has a bunch of good games they didn't. (Notably, every Time Crisis except 1... in the full size cabs) That and the Holyoke Mall is a whole lot nicer (although they card on weekends as well)...

I just miss that CM2... Those were good times. Back when I couldn't pass 321 Stars....

Agreed. I have fond memories of going "WTF, Genom Screams is way too hard to be a 4"

Anyone here know the nearest SN machine to Westford? I've just been going to the Acton Bowlodrome and Roll On America, but that's ITG2 and DDR EXTREME. I've been really looking forward to playing SN since it came out.

BTW, the Extreme machine in the Bowlodrome is crap, it looks like it was passed over by a VERY powerful magnet and only 1/2 of the foot sensors work (at least one on each arrow, so it's somewhat tolerable).

Closest would be Tokyo Game Action I believe. Seeing how your West.... I think. Check our machine locations page and find arcades around you that might have it.

The closest SN machine to Westford is Tokyo Game Action. It'll take you a little under an hour to get there from Westford.

I'm sorry to hear about the Bowladrome's machine. I learned to play on their 5th mix back when that was the closest DDR machine to Fitchburg. That place used to be pretty cool. The people who played were awesome. I should go for a visit sometime. Jolene still work there?

Does Roll On America have an ITG 2 machine now? I still remember when Extreme was added. My stepfather was a manager there and I convinced him that we needed a DDR machine in the area. Time Out at Searstown Mal had justl closed to make room for Chuck E Cheese. Now Roll On America is closing down to make room for a Lowe's Home Improvement store, and TGA will be the closest place for people in the area.

Roll On is closing? No way! (Makes mental note to picket it if they close)
No, Roll On didn't add ITG2, I was referring to the Bowlodrome when I said that. I wish they did though. Even then, the EXTREME machine isn't unlocked yet (I'm contacting him tomorrow about that, unless he's not there AGAIN).
Damn, TGA is the closest? Even under an hour, with all of the EC I do it might be hard to find time...

I was told Roll On was closing about a month ago, and that the owners were selling it to Lowe's. They haven't been making much money the past few years as it is. They've been down to a skeleton crew for quite a while, so the news wasn't a surprise. There aren't any arcades that last around here, except Chuck E Cheese (which stole their business, I'm sure), and TGA . I have good memories of Roll On.

I played on Acton's ITG 2 machine tonight. The pads feel really weird. It feels like the arrows are sinking into the pad. I was afraid I might break the pad. Playing that game also reminded me why I like DDR better, since I was having trouble finding songs I like. Remember December is still one of my favorites on Hard. Queen of Light's ok too. I don't really like anything on Expert.

The Bowlodrome looks so different now. The last time I was there they had the Solo 4th Plus machine. I hated it since it felt like the pad was too close to the screen. This was before they remodeled the arcade.

Seems like everyone here is from west MA, and are enjoying TGA over there. D:

I got a (hackz0red) ITG2 ~25 min away from me though, so it's all good. I would play at the Hanover Mall's Extreme (50c vs 1.00 at Lazer Zone) but it's broken and the managers don't care. =/
