As many people know about me, I love to play in the arcade as often as I can. It’s not only fun, but it’s also a great way to meet people and get some exercise done as well.

I have originally started to venture into arcades back in my freshman year at RPI, where we had a DDR 4th mix, which was fun to start playing on. From then on, I got hooked onto going to these places because of the fun experiences they offer me, and I still go to them now out here in Indiana.

One of the best places that I have ever been to for an arcade is a place called TGA, which stands for Tokyo Game Action. You can find their website by clicking here. You could do pretty much anything you want there – play any type of imported music game, arcade game, or play bowling and eat. It was always a 3 hour trip to get there from Troy, NY, but it was always worth the effort to go, as I have never had a bad experience there.

I just found out that this awesome place has just been hit with a series of floods, and now they will have to shut down the place for good. That’s not only unfair to me as a player, but more importantly, for the ownership of the place, as they were the nicest bunch of people ever. They were always excited whenever we came to visit them, and they even helped us to find food arrangements in the area of Winchendon, MA. They were never pushy, either, and always kept all of their machines in the best condition.

I would like to know from the aether of cyberspace what you feel about arcades, too, but most importantly, about when bad things happen to good people. Hopefully this post will help to start generating some feelings about this place, and maybe they can reopen. I pray for the place’s return and continued operation as well, as I loved that place.
