If any of you are looking for ideas for a fun and fairly inexpensive date night, you might want to try your local Nickel Arcade.
Jeff and I went to one recently, and we really enjoyed it. For under $10 (which included the few dollars it costs to get in, plus several dollars worth of nickels), we enjoyed a nostalgic evening.
We played a few different racing games, skeeball, pinball, and shot some hoops. But we also discovered some of our favorite old games, like Frogger, Burger Time, Qbert, and a classic flying shooting aliens game (that I played in Young Women's a BUNCH because my Beehive leader had the arcade game at her house). Jeff also discovered a game - we think it's called Moon Crawler - that he used to play on his family's first-generation computer (TI-94A).
There were a lot of other things there, too, like air hockey, DDR, and a photo booth, but we didn't get around to doing any of those. It was a really fun evening, and we're planning on going again sometime.
We were also amused to discover a large number of apparently single guys (who weren't teenagers) hanging out there on a Friday night. They appeared to be the type that specialize in certain games and probably hold the high scores on a number of machines. So, if you're a single girl who's feeling desparate, check out your local Nickel Arcade...
