Trip to the Galloping Ghost Arcade

 Once I saw this sign I knew we finally made it to the Galloping Ghost Arcade. It was quite the trip since we had to take a fairly long train ride to get to Chicago.

You can see Primal Rage II in this shot. Very few of these boards are still around since they were only made as prototypes. Also Sega Sonic the Hedgehog is the giant blue cabinet. To bad the trackballs weren't really working.

All kinds of fighting games. This was mostly the Mortal Kombat Area even if you can't see MK1-3 in this shot. Even though the moves were simple it took a bit to pull off a few special moves on the spot.

The Outfoxies was a weird but cool game. The lightguns you see on the side wren't actually light guns. You just pull the trigger to shoot the gun that your 2D character picked up. The environments that the characters fight in were unique and all of them blew up in some nice ways.

A row of lightgun games. Now that I think about it I didn't play very many of these while I was there.

In The Hunt with a custom marquee. Although if that somehow sprung a leak I'm pretty sure the machine would be dead.

Although I tried I couldn't even get close to taking photos of every single arcade machine at the GGA. It was a fun time and anyone that wants to revisit the past by going to a arcade again the Galloping Ghost Arcade should be at the top of your list.
