TheAbsoluteBest
1.阳光自助洗衣店
曼哈顿大街860号。米尔顿街,格林点;718-475-2055
纽约最好的街机看起来像普通的自助洗衣店。但是,越过洗衣机线,仔细观察到后墙上的两个堆叠的干衣机,您会发现一个并非如此的秘密门口。它的后面是一个说话风格的弹球街机,配有啤酒,葡萄酒和自动化的算命黑猩猩。阳光自助洗衣店的魅力是,您觉得自己偶然发现了一个隐藏的俱乐部会所,而该地点奖励了进一步的喜悦。那个在前门附近的干衣机?在里面的peer,发现它已转换为“两人射击器”视频游戏51区的控制台。请注意,自动售货机上有各种各样的奇怪物品,从妊娠试验到猪肉粉状混合物,都标有“培根”贴纸。但这并不是所有的异想天开;Sunshine自助洗衣店是一款严肃的街机,将满足弹球爱好者的20多种经典机器,包括印第安纳·琼斯(Indiana Jones),AC/DC, the Twilight Zone, and Arabian Nights — in top condition. Be prepared to pay a bit of a premium, however: Most machines cost 75 cents per game.
2.布鲁克林
388 Union Ave., nr. Ainslie St., Williamsburg;718-302-6464
自2004年首次在威廉斯堡开业以来,Barcade已扩展到四个城市的六个地点也就不足为奇了。它有一个简单而万无一失的食谱:带有精酿啤酒和不错的音乐的谦虚的酒吧,并添加了数十场经典视频游戏。Barcade由于避免的情况而感到满足:没有滑动卡,没有昂贵的新型游戏,也没有孩子。您只会得到年轻时的街机经典 - Pac-Man女士。Galaga,Q*Bert,Tetris,Arkanoid,Dig Dug,Gauntlet和Centlet-仅四分之一。在纽约的三个地点中,布鲁克林的原始Barcade是最好的选择。但是西部的barcade 24th确实有金色的斧头和一张稀有而美丽的Tron圆盘1983。
3.Modern Pinball
362 Third Ave., nr. 26thSt.;646-415-8440
Modern Pinball is an arcade for purists: no distractions, just a room full of more than two dozen pinging and clanking classic and modern pinball machines. And play is by the hour, so you don’t even need quarters. You can simply focus on racking up a new high score on games like the Shadow, Star Trek (original orTNG),Metallica,Dude博士或Gorgar(1979年的第一台谈话弹球机)。找到了您无法停止玩的游戏?带回家;所有的机器都是出售的。没有食物或饮料,但是您的入场手镯将为您带来10%的折扣门。
4.Dave&Buster’s
234 W. 42nd街。第八大道。646-495-2015
Dave&从某些措施中,巴斯特(Buster's)是纽约街机中最令人印象深刻的。它具有最大的屏幕,最沉浸的游戏机和最响亮的音乐。您可以进入豆荚里,然后在纽约驾驶战斗机,或者在TV-size touch screen, or become Kung Fu Panda in a game that includes six punchable pads. It’s a great arcade for kids and tourists or anyone passing through TimesSquare.
5.唐人街公平家庭娱乐中心
8 Mott St., nr. Worth St.;212-964-1001
Even thoughthe tick-tack-toe-playing chickens are long retired, this historic hole-in-the-wall arcade is still worth a visit for its small but decent mix of racing, fighting, shooting, and rhythm games. And if you’re a serious Dance Dance Revolution devotee, this is your spot, with threeDDR-style控制台。但是要注意:这就是真正的revolutionary dance-dancers step out — shirtless, sweaty, FiveFinger-shod feet flying. It’s a sight to behold.
