They both came out in the early 80's, but I remember seeing them at arcades well into the 90's. Ms. Pac-Man, in particular, was my favorite game at both the laundromat my family went to during the six months we lived in an apartment with no washer/dryer and at our local pizza place. I'm excited for this place!<br /><br />I do agree that it would be awesome if they got rid of Church & State and made Barcade (or whatever the name will be) two stories.KMBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-47578669062827272992012-07-04T03:16:30.391-04:002012-07-04T03:16:30.391-04:00Glad to see we're finally getting a "them...Glad to see we're finally getting a "theme" bar.
