His vision is for you to come in and sit on plush couches and view a "wine list" of the best games being offered. There will be a console area specifically for this. Modders are looking to retrofit all the old consoles to work perfectly with new displays in HD. A console fee of $10 an hour would cover the gameplay. Of cource, order a bottle of bubbly and they may waive that fee.
There are also plans to 45 arcade cabinets of which the majority are classics such as Rampage, Double Dragon, Pac-Man etc. all playable for 50 cents each. Even though 45 doesn't seem like a huge number compared to places like Pinball Wizard or Family Fun Arcade it's more about the atmosphere.
LaPorte is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that gamers do get the best experience. He will be stockpiling controllers and joysticks. He will also be stocking fighter arcade sticks and steering wheels. Great for console players who hate playing Marvel vs. Capcom with console controllers.
Insert Coin(s) will also have a a DJ spinning music that will include video game effects and even parts of the original soundtrack. There will be a fully stocked bar that will seat 50 and even a small dance floor for those not wanting to play.
Although I know this place would not be for me I would like to check it out when it opens. I personally feel an arcade should be a dirty dark dungeon where tons of people are just playing toll their fingers are fused into a claw shape because of the joystick. This sounds more like a Dave and Buster's turns club.
Hope he does well. If he does Chris will plan to open more stores through out the country.
