They did get Spy Hunter in, which is awesome. Still, Rampage and Contra wouldn't work two player, which was a beat - also Smash TV is no longer there. oh also the two D&B's I've been to (Palisades Mall in West Nyack, NY, and the riverfront one in Philadelphia) have not been ghetto.

Re: Is Dave & Buster\'s a super ghetto place where you live?
The one in North Phoenix seems OK. Not exactly high-end, but not filled with "white trash" either. Bunch of old video games though (not that they make new video games nowadays). They didn't enforce any 3 adult to 1 kid ratio when I was there, but it was mainly adults.

Re: Is Dave & Buster\'s a super ghetto place where you live?
In dallas, it used to be very nice, like 10-15 years ago. We had our company party there when I was about 10 years old, I remember my Dad buying me and my cousins a 'pot'o'gold' worth of arcade tokens, and it was like we won the lottery. IIRC, that was $500 worth of arcade tokens or something. It had a very nice restaurant and rich wood grain finishings and a strictly enforced dress code.
Last time I was there the clientel had definitely declined. Lots of thugs/wannabe thugs. I heard a commercial on the radio the other day and it was 1 entree and $10 of game play for $13.99 iirc. I think D&B used to be provately held, and is now a public company. If so, that would explain the decline.

Dave and Busters: Where ghetto people who are broke, go to spend a little money while realizing they can't really afford it they compensate by demanding extra special service and stiff you on a tip as to not max out their credit cards.

Re: Is Dave & Buster\'s a super ghetto place where you live?
All,
It was pretty funny seeing my friend try to order a hamburger here: http://www.daveandbusters.com/pdfs/menu.pdf "I'd like a hamburger" "What kind of cheese?" "No cheese?" "What kind of burger?" "Just a hamburger" "BBQ or" "Just a regular hamburger" "Uh, how many patties?" "Just one" "What kind of cheese did you say?" "No cheese, just a regular hamburger, no cheese, on a bun. With some fries." "OK." He scraped the cheese off.

All,
Also, about every 1 minute the loudspeaker blared at super high volume "ATTENTION ALL DAVE AND BUSTERS CUSTOMERS ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS JORGE YOUR POCKET BILLIARDS TABLE IS READY PLEASE GO TO THE POWER COUNTER JORGE YOUR POCKET BILLIARDS TABLE IS READY"

Diablo,
Anybody who doesn't eat cheese on a burger stands a strong chance of being congenitally unable to enjoy life anyway.
