Don't know much about this place, but I saw an ad for it on Craigslist so I thought I'd post it here. They say on their website that they have "Dance Dance Revolution - 2 Player", but don't mention what specific version. Someone local should check this place out.

Hey, you know, they have a legit DDR Extreme. Don't knock it until you've tried it, haha. I'll check it out on Sunday.

OKAY!

So I went over to Snoqualmie to check this out. The machine is an Extreme (which probably isn't actually legit, that picture was misleading) with MEMORY CARD SLOTS!!! The pads are really good, and they feel very solid too. The bars don't wobble at all. The Extreme is fully unlocked, as well. The volume was really quiet when I got there, but I asked the attendant to turn it up and he did. It's pretty loud now and definitely one of the best DDR cabinets I've ever played on. Only 50 cents a game! I think I'm gonna look into having an Extreme tournament out here if anyone's interested. The pinballs are also in pretty decent condition, so that's always fun too.

If anyone's in the area ever, let me know and I'll head down and play with you. It's only about 15 minutes from my house. Give this place some love! They deserve it for having such a great cabinet!

I went to the Game Cave arcade yesterday.  However, I didn't find the pads to be in that great of a condition.  I dropped just about every jump freeze and I got a bunch of random pad stuff on pretty much all four arrows on the 1P side.  It seemed to be more focused toward the inner sensors, so maybe we could get them to swap the outer ones to the inside.

Apart from that, it's a cute place in a cute town!  The pinball machines are awesome, and classic Donkey Kong makes me happy.  And Daytona Racing brought me back to 1996.  Ah, the good ole days...

Whoever owns this place definitely loves their games.

Hmm, maybe I just stomp really hard on DDR then, haha. I got a AAA on the 2P side, but then again I always play on the 2P side. Anyway I'll bug them about it or something.

Haha, yeah, James AAA'd Xenon on the 2P side, and he steps more lightly.  I think different body types bring out different issues on the pads too.  If there are weak sensors, I tend to be the first to notice, lol.  Hopefully the staff is nice and will let us play with the pads a little. =)

Tricksy, you're already really light. Do you play with the bar also? If so, this might be some of the reason why it didn't notice ya, especially on holds.

I do play with the bar, but I've been playing DDR for about 8 years now, so I think I know what I need to do to hold a freeze. =p  And the pad stuff wasn't just weak sensors, but I got two missed in a row on the down arrow.  I'm pretty sure it was sticking down, but I can't confirm.

The times I've been there, I've cycled between no issues at all (and some very good scores) and a few pad issues.  I mostly play the 1P side.

The issues I had, however, seemed more a function of me not stepping hard enough - ITG's been a bad influence.  No issues at all when I step flat footed (with bar) or when I play no bar.

The 2p side is recommended. Anyway I guess this place might be closing down? They've listed the arcade on Craigslist as a going business, but I guess they're still open right now. I went in today and the volume had been turned down so I bothered them about it and the attendant turned it up. Memory card slots are definitely functional! Played some interesting edits today.
