Just visiting Seattle for the weekend, read about a DOJ a Pink Gorilla and got excited to put in a score, then read that that was a long time ago.

The Pink Gorilla storefront is still open, but unfortunately the arcade part of it is no more. The Gameworks in downtown Seattle has a Raiden Fighters cab, but other than that there isn't much for STGs in Seattle anymore.

Of course, you're still welcome to stop by the store if you're in the area - we have a few good shmups for sale that might be to your liking![/plug]

I haven't seen any real arcades in Seattle myself. We have Gameworks, but I somehow doubt that they have a bank of candy cabs set up with DFK. bobbyconover has about 10 cabs, but I'm not sure how they're set up.

I have been to the Gameworks in Seattle, and it kicked ass. No shoot 'em up love, unfortunately. :(

Yeah, the NW scene for shmups and arcade game in general is pretty damn lacking. I really don't understand why Bobby couldn't eek out an agreement with Pink Gorilla. PG Shmup day was awesome!
