Barcade Philly Opens, Brooklyn Turns 7

Posted on October 10, 2011

 

Good times for east coast Barcade this week!

The original Barcade in Williamsburg, Brooklyn opened seven years ago, and will be celebrating its anniversary on Thursday, October 13.  But bigger news is that the third location just opened on Monday (today!) in Philadelphia.  It houses Asteroids Deluxe, along with a whole slew of other classic arcade games and good craft beer.  This follows on the heels of a Jersey City Barcade opening this past April, so if you’re meandering through the tri-state area with too many quarters and not enough pints, you know where to go.

Visit the Barcade website for more information about all three locations.

 

California Extreme 2011: Pop-Up Classic Arcade

Posted on June 29, 2011

For one weekend each year, California Extreme pulls together a giant collection of classic arcade video and pinball machines. It’s supposed to be amazing. This year it’s at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara on July 9-10, where a ticket at the door buys you all the games you can eat.

Asteroids (with Asteroids Deluxe and Lunar Lander multikit mod) and Asteroids Deluxe are on the list. Last year it was in a cocktail cabinet.
