Barcade

I have been looking for something like Barcade for a while now. Located in Brooklyn, it's a combo bar/arcade featuring 20 revolving beer taps and more than 20 vintage video games (Donkey Kong, Beserk, Galaga, Defender, Tempest, Asteroids and many more) that you can play for the old-skool price of just 25 cents!

That's pretty sweet. If only gameworks games were a quarter a piece. But I guess a quarter in 1982 was a lot more money.

Okay I looked up the inflation tables and a quarter back then is 48 cents today. So no arcade game should cost more than 48 cents IMHO.

I'm curious what a Pac-Man machine cost in 1982, compared to what a modern stand up machine costs these days. It's all about return on investment.
