The state of arcade gaming here in the Seattle area, part 2

August 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Continuing on my thoughts about places to play arcade games here in Seattle…. some thoughts about a place near Eastlake…..

Jillians’s Billiards

jillians

This establishment seems to be primarily known as a place to play pool, but they have a decent selection of arcade games. They have a wider variety of games than the others listed - including a selection of driving games (including a multiuser Daytona USA set up), a 360 degree VR game that involves gunning down soldiers on the beach, and a Sega Marine Fishing machine (enjoy your fishing!).

Beer and food is also availible, which is a plus. And for you retro gamers, I remember that there’s a few cabinets with older games too. Not a bad joint, but not a mindblowing or particularly novel experience.

    Hey, I read your comments on Jillians’s and was wondering what you thought would be a mindblowing experience?
