It's soul destroying.
The oldest game they had on the pier was House of the Dead 3. In my youth, it was jammed with JAMMAs of The Punisher, DD, Knights of the Round, Captain Commando, plus a few of Neo Geos with King of the Monsters.
At least it has a working Propcycle though.

I remember seeing Firefox, and later Dragon's Lair
both laserdisc games on that pier.

Man Dragon's Lair was quite ubiquitous in the late 80s early 90s.
I played DL a grand total of once, not making that mistake again.
I would slaughter thousands upon thousands of innocent people in order to play Virtua Cop again :(

With you there on Dragon's Lair. A definite case of WTF? gaming.
Virtua Cop was OK, but Time Crisis beat it with that foot pedal.
Then again, NAMCO did brilliant jobs on Ridge Racer and Tekken but only after SEGA had got there first with their plain 3D vectors.
Don't get me started on I, Robot though...

Just do what I did
Get a copy of MAME for your PC, and get all the old arcade games for that. I build a USB joystick out of decent jap arcade parts and am loving playing all the old classics at home!

I'm still trying to convince HER
to allow me to build a MAME cab for the front room. Apparently I "have enough game shit" and she won't let me buy the MDF.

I wish I had the room/skill to build a MAME cab
This is what I use:
Got my PC hooked up to a Scart TV with a hacked VGA cable, so it displays virtually identically to an arcade monitor.
