A visit to Galloping Ghost, the largest video game arcade in the USA

Ars Technica:

Galloping Ghost, an arcade located in the western suburbs of Chicago, was said to house well over 400 vintage games. $15 gets you all of the gaming you can stand until closing time at 2am—no quarters needed.

This place would have made my 14 year old self weep with joy. If I ever find myself in Chicago, I’ll have to make a pilgrimage.

  1. Interesting. I was too cheap to spend money on arcade games, but I did play pinball occasionally. Apparently they are doing so well they want to expand via a Kickstarter project though it seems likely to fail as it is tracking towards 8% of its goal.
