Arcades in Rome?

I'm going to Rome for a week on sunday, not that i expect to have much time to wonder around looking for arcades what with all the archaeology to look at, but does anyone know of anywhere i should keep my eye out for?

Good holiday

I'll ask to some friends, so stay tuned. I guess there are a few 'Extraball' or something similar, with some beat'em up and nothing else...

Yeah, the extraball ones shouldn't have any shmups, right now, but i'm not 100% sure. Maybe something in the EUR luna-park, they had big arcades, back in the days, but it's not exactly in the centre, so...

cheers guys, it was only really the shoot em ups i was looking for, but if i had to choose i'd rather see Il Papa

Il Papa is not as cool as a good shmup! Problem: no shmups in Rome, apparently. If you're lucky I guess you'll find soe MAMEcab with, ugh, Raiden

i actually found an arcade place at the bottom of the street i was staying at - via cavour behind trajan's market. they had a couple of snk shooters in altho most of you guys would call them run and gun. metal slug 5 and some other game i cant remember the name of but you had 4 characters to choose from and a 360 deg field of movement, holding the fire button allowed you to strafe it wasnt bad, but then im totally starved of any arcade shooters
