Huge thanks to @wendigo (and @danjmcs!) for tipping me off to this great new writeup on Arizona arcades - I've only been to one and heard of a couple others - if you're in Arizona or planning to stop by, these look like some cool spots. I gotta get out to the Chandler and Tempe ones, those are fairly close to me. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts-culture/best-arcades-in-phoenix-40656607

Phoenix New Times
@jake4480 @wendigo welcome! Starfighters is amazing and just doubled the size of their space and part of their 10 year anniversary. My friends own Outpost Arcade and they have put together a great arcade with a focus on pinball and tournaments/community. Highly recommend them both!
@danjmcs @wendigo oh sick! Gotta make it out to Outpost, hadn't heard of it! I've been to Starfighters several times but not since their new remodel, I gotta get out there. It's FAR for me, I'm in Maricopa haha. I worked with a dude that was friends with the guys who own Starfighters.. I had no idea there were so many around here now!
@jake4480 @wendigo hah, tell me about it being far, I'm in Peoria, heh. They've got a good mix of local beers in bottles and a little bar at Outpost Arcade, so you can drown your sorrows after a few tokens, heh.
@danjmcs @wendigo oh nice - Peoria. Yeah, that's a ways up there too haha - I'm in Maricopa.
