List away, or else I'll cut you.

There's an arcade/laser-tag place just east of Times Square (sorry, don't remember the exact street, but I think it's either 47th or 48th). They have two DDR Extreme machines in good working order; the other stuff is mostly light gun games and racers.

The only one I really know of is the Broadway arcade on 42nd near 8th (or is it 9th...somewhere around there). I know there are some down in Chinatown too, but I don't know where exactly.

Broadway is closed down my friend (something about people getting hit with stray bullets). I think Barcode is gone too. Chinatown is your best bet.

You're thinking of Laser Park

It's closed? That's too bad... not that it was such a great place, but it was something.

Once Disney took over Times Square, many of the old time classic arcades, like Playland, were driven out for uber arcades like XS and Barode. None of the them lasted long. XS had that rape in the bathroom and Barcode was simply way too upscale for their own good; once I wasn't let in cuz my pants weren't nice enough. Get that? I didn't have nice enough pants to play Sega Rally 2.

There's Broadway Arcade on 42nd near 8th Ave, close to Port Authority, but that's on its last legs. BTW, the Port Authority has an arcade near the bowling alley.

Plus there's the Chinatown Street Fair on Mott Street.

But I guess there's also...

Neutral Ground (122 W 26th st., 4th fl. 212-633-1288) on 26th st. and 6 av

NEVER heard of this place... gonna check it out tomorrow.... thanks!
