			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently made the road trip from Chicago to McLean IL, to meet up with my good friend Jeff at the Arcade Museum.  What is the Arcade Museum?  Just a little piece of arcade nirvana located right off I55 on your way south to St. Louis.  If you don&#8217;t find what you&#8217;re looking for at the next St. Louis Super Auction, you can at least pop on over to the Arcade Museum and get your fill of classic gaming at its best.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.tokensonly.com/images/events/arcade-museum/images/mclean-arcade-museum-05.JPG" alt="arcade-museum" /></p>
<p>John Yates, the avid collector responsible for the museum, has created a cozy little place to play a bunch of true classics.  When we arrived there were a handful of customers playing games and a few volunteers working hard moving new games into place and keeping the ones on the floor working 100%.  <span id="more-2224"></span>There is no admission fee to get into the museum, but games do cost twenty five cents while cockpit games a mere fifty cents.  Donations to a worthy cause!  After the grand tour we spent the afternoon pumping quarters into the games.  </p>

<p>While I didn&#8217;t get an exact count, the museum has between 35-40 working games.  There were 7 games I had never played before in a dedicated cab, that was amazing.  I discovered a few new &#8220;must haves&#8221;, that&#8217;s for sure.  For more background information about the Arcade Museum, check out the posts at <a href="http://www.rotheblog.com/2010/01/arcade-miscellaneous/road-trip-to-the-arcade-game-museum/">rotheblog</a> as he&#8217;s covered all the details.  It isn&#8217;t often you get to see a lineup like this in the wild.  If you can make the trip, it is certainly worth it.  Bring your quarters and support the Arcade Museum.</p>
