Fresno, CA
We are headed there for three nights starting tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone has played them recently. The newer ones like TRON and AC/DC were in decent shape last year. Do they have any new ones?

The line-up always seems different every time I go. The ones upstairs above the mini-golf seem to be in a little better shape than the ones in the big arcade at the end. Although the last time I was there, ACDC pro had the levelers reversed on the legs so the pf was practically at 0% level! I was tempted to crawl under the game and fix it! There are also five or six games at the bowling alley across the street, but they're not in very good shape.

Thanks man. I forgot about the bowling alley across the street. Do you remember which games were there?
Bowling alley had TAF, TSPP, Elvis, CSI, and one more I can't remember. Upstairs above mini-golf had LOTR, Tron pro, ACDC pro, TSPP, RCT, TDK, FG, I think. Big arcade at the end had RBION, SM, WoF, Sopranos, Hurricane, Monopoly, and a few others, but I might be mixing my memories from the last few visits. They always seem to have newer Sterns, though. You may get lucky and see XM, Avengers, or Metallica, too.
1 week later
When I was there last year there was hardly any that was 75% playable. Hopefully they're in a bit better shape now.
Last time I was there (couple weeks ago), AC/DC was in the bar at the bowling alley set to take quarters (not tokens). The cannon has been auto firing for months. Tron got pulled from upstairs at Neptune's Kingdom (mini-golf), for some reason. May be back now. They do have an AVE pro there now, but it also has issues.
Most games there are in rough shape, but you can't beat the ambiance (and view d8^). If you move between games, you can usually find one or two playing okay. T3 was in good shape with easy settings last time I played it. Free concerts on Friday nights. This week it's Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven.
