The popn screen is absolute trash.  Why...

From their Facebook today:
GAMEWORKS SEATTLE WILL BE CLOSED FROM 4PM - 7PM FOR A PRIVATE EVENT!

Stopped in Monday night for a quick technika and ddr session. The place was pretty busy, and DDR got some small crowds watching.  Fortunately X2 was just BARELY playable on doubles. The pads need a lot of work and the arrows themselves need to be replaced.

It seems like a good number of the problems with most of the music games have been fixed. Pop'n has a fixed screen, DJMax is actually functional, Taiko has new(?) drums and sticks, and Gitadora has new sticks as well.

I went a few months ago and played on the DDR Extreme machine.  They were the best taken care of pads I'd ever played on.  I've never played on a DDR machine where the pads had some spring to them!  Usually only on well taken care of ITG2 dedicabs.

FYI: The PIU:XX cabinet at Gameworks is in GREAT condition right now.

RIP.

Such a bummer. I try to avoid downtown Seattle these days, but I always enjoyed a visit to such a large arcade with a variety of games.

Note that this place has reopened.

Both sides of PIU are currently working. They fixed P1 side a short bit ago.
