Both Vark and and ICJ have been to Cactus Jacks. Well, Cactus Jacks is completely different now. I just went this weekend to check it out and here is my report.
When ICJ and Vark visited Cactus Jacks, the place had approximately 6 pinball machines. Now, and this is just a guess, they have 80. Here's a horrible Vine video I shot.
First, Vine is limited to six seconds in length, so fuck you. Second, that's not even all the tables. There are at least two more sections of tables. That being said, a bunch of the tables are duplicates. There are four Addam's Family machines side by side, next to two South Park machines. I did not see Tron but I did see AC/DC and Avatar and they said they just got Metallica too.
In front of the pinball machines is a row of about 12 classic arcade machines. Defender, Stargate, Tempest, Frogger, Ms. Pac-Man, and several others, plus at least one Multicade.
So, that's the good news. The bad news is the entire rest of the building is mostly coin redemption stuff with a few driving games here and there. It looks like most of the arcade machines that weren't from the 80s are gone. Also that weird Beachhead game is still there but it's broken now. And the sword game has a sign that says "Don't draw dicks on this Robb."
I will try and get a better list of pinball and classic games available to play there. Oh also a few of the pinball tables take tokens and they are all either 3 or 4 tokens each. All the newer ones take a card swipe thing.
