Title: Trip to Cattolica (Italy)
Post by: logan on June 26, 2009, 07:30:58 PM
Hi guys,
I'm back!  ;D ;D Missed me??  ::) ::) ;)
Couldn't visit the board in the last few months cause I had loads of work & stuff to do... but now, after one week italy, I am finally back!  ;D
... and I want to share my arcade pics form italy with you!

First of all, the last time I've been to Cattolica (Adira Coast, about 20km "below" Rimini) was 6 or 7 years ago, sady all the arcades didn't really improve in that time (not from my point of view). They got rid of almost all classic games/cabs (mostly neogeo universal woodies)... :(

And here we go.

This used to be my favorite Arcade, but as you can see, they closed this one down... :( :( :(

oh, and by the way, THIS is me...  :shock: :shock: :ghost:

All in all it was fun to be at an arcade again... but you shouldn't look at the cabs for too long cause they aren't in best shape (exept for all these active stuff where you have to throw balls and stuff like that...). Also i missed all the good old classics... only found 3 neo cabs...

Thats all for the moment!

Thanks for the ride Logan  :)

It reminds me this trip (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=126.0) along the Riccione & Rimini coast I've done 3 years ago.

And once again, I'm in love with this AIRLINE Pilot  :-*

My god logan,

you went to cattolica and did not moved to Rimini and Riccione?

I'm born right there and you have to move (it is also quite near from where you are now)

Go to riccione (get the 11 bus or 11/ ) than proceed to ceccarini street and look for the gallery in the center turn on your left

and look out for the "HAPPY DAYS" amusement center

than get the dante street and walk about 20 minutes and will find LOT of amusement centers like "IL DOLLARO",

Than proceed to Heading to Rimini and you will find more from Miramare to the center of Rimini

the mighty "SUPER STAR"

OLD AMERICA

Stefano's amusement center

PIRAMIDE!! (OUT RUN 2 DLX + SEGA RALLY 3 + WCCF)

CENTRAL PARK

VENUSIA


Just to name few

Go for it and let me know!  ::)

Maverick

Ps= You could also pay a visit to ANY's amusement Center, he is there!

I'll be there from the middle of august to the end to meet part of my family
