A while back I saw some people on /vr/ talk about bygone arcades, and someone mentioned Milford Amusement/Smiles Recreation Center, which was a favorite of my youth.

Even though the place shut down in 2011 I've noticed people going in and out of the building. The other day I went to scope it out and discovered that an arcade cab seller was using the place as storage.

I took some photographs of a place that was once a vibrant arcade and is now an arcade graveyard.

And I know there's an arcade thread, but that one is more about owning and maintaining them, this is more about the arcade as a place.

I took that picture two days ago.
In the 90's this place was called Milford Amusement, and before that, Milford Rec Center.

I never saw a Battle Arena Toshinden 2 machine in the wild before this.
I always thought it was just a console game.

I'm pretty sure everything you see in these pics are for sale.
Can't guarantee they're working though.
They have a showroom nearby with all the stuff that's tested and working.

The former. I've played Vigilante when it was new, and the only cab I saw it in was identical to this.

>>777693
Yeah, as long as the work, and the monitors are good. You don't need a multi-slot unit if it's just going to be for your personal collection, but if you're going to be playing anything but pirate MVS carts, maybe more slots would be better.

You know how older ladies sometimes go "Oh, I wish I could take home ALL of them!" when they visit the pound?

I'm going full "I wish I could taje home ALL of them!" when I'm looking at all these pictures.

This is what a laser tag looks like when you turn on the lights, remove all the barriers, and fill it with skee ball machines.

I feel the same way. But at least these games weren't just taken to the dump. Even if they get sold at least they still exist and that's important

Shit. At least you have photos. All my old arcades in my hometown died out over nearly two decades ago, so all that's left are my distant memories.
