Weekend Retro Game Play : Castlevania
It's October my favorite time of the year. The leaves are changing colors, temperatures are dropping and Halloween is right around the corner. So what better way to get into Halloween spirit than to breakout the horror themed games and give them a play through. So when trying to pick one out I decided on a game that I missed out on back in the day, Castlevania. Holy shit do I like this game. I had a good first run through and got as far as the Grim Reaper before I got stuck. It may take some time but I want to beat this game. So I'll probably be working at it for awhile.

Arcade Action : Galloping Ghost Arcade
Today I made a trip down to an awesome arcade in Brookfield, IL called Galloping Ghost. Only $15 at the door gains you access to a ton arcade machines all set to free play. I spent over two hours there and only played a fraction of the machines they have. While I was there I tried to play as many classics as possible; Donkey Kong, Galaga, Missile Command, Centipede, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man. It was awesome to play these games on their actual machines, especially Asteroids. I was terrible at most of them but nevertheless I still had a blast. Another excellent part of my trip was checking out games that I had only played on MAME before like Aliens Vs. Predators and Battletoads, which are both fun as hell. Like I said there were so many games.
Over all this is the best arcade that I have ever been to and the best part is that you don't even need to smash your piggy bank to get a ton of playtime. If you are ever in the Brookfield area I would definitely swing by Galloping Ghost.
