Quoted from JamesMxP:

You guys get the AC/DC up and running? It was down the past two times I've been up.

It was down last Friday. I will check tonight and let you know. Thanks for stopping by, though! Chris and the guys really appreciate all the positive feedback!

Quoted from Javaman:

That's the town I grew up in until I was 10. Does anyone remember the original arcade that was downtown 30 years ago? I'm thinking it was also called Starport or Starcade. It had a spaceport feel to it. I'm thinking there was also an arcde at the Mountaineer mall, but my memory is hazy.
I had a lot of fond memories of sneaking out of the house and taking the tower's prt station downtown.
Kudos to you for keeping the arcade dream alive!

Don't know exactly how old you are, Javaman, but the other great place to play in Morgantown back in MY day was The Wharf Rat out at the Morgantown end of the Star City Bridge. This would have been 1977-1982 era. Great line up of machines, pool table and beer. As for the Mountaineer Mall arcade location, I can't quite remember it, although I know they had one. Middletown Mall in Fairmont is where I honed my pinball skills on Centigrade 37, Wizard, Captain Fantastic, Evel Knievel and Spinout. Fairmont State College had Playboy and Bobby Orr and College Lunch had Harlem Globetrotters. This was a great area for games back in that era!
