Pricing has always been .50 x1/.75 x2/1.00 x3 on everything alphanumeric and up & .25 a play for solid state and electromechanical games. This is for all of the games that they own. Medieval Madness is a test game and the manufacturer wanted to test it from an actual modern non-barcade operator's stand point ($1.00 a play) to get some data for sales.

They do not have a kitchen but you can order food and have it brought in.

I've gotta track down a project Hercules to use as dibs by the next snowstorm.

Choke is a neat place. He had a Stars, Big Indian, and another one when I lived up the block.

I think Logan Arcade got swept into Bucktown in the 90's real estate market when Logan Square was not a buzz word.

Soon to be six!

This is true. Some of these places are also owned by bar groups or by young folks with money and with other interests. I feel like if the market sours, these will shutter like the themed bars just before them. The Namco one should be fun to watch. I'm not going to worry about it too much, though. While I spend a lot of my time at Logan (fantastic variety everywhere), I go to both HQs (top ten titles for days; games I cannot afford) and both Emporiums (to shake it up a bit). I'm just gonna soak this resurgence up like a fella born in 1979 should. I love it!

Horrible investments are always the most fun, though!

Emporium Logan Square is already shying away from their "table edition" idea. They recently hauled in like 20 vids. You wouldn't notice it with all of that space. They should have added like 5 more air hockey tables.

The radio station?

I kid, I kid. I thought Ben was being sarcastic for some reason.

If you're in The Loop, you can pretty much get to any of them by train with little effort. With Headquarters River North being the closest, you could probably take a cab there inexpensively. Otherwise, it's off of the Chicago Ave stop on the Brown Line (Kimball).

Train stops from downtown for the others: HQ Lakeview, Diversey stop on the Brown Line (Kimball); Emporium Wicker Park, Damen stop on the Blue Line (O'Hare); Emporium Logan Square & Logan Arcade, California stop on the Blue Line (O'Hare). Alternatively, for Logan Arcade, you can get off at Western on the Blue Line (O'Hare) and it's a 1/2 mile north on Western until you get to Fullerton Ave.
