Finally finished up writing about the Galaxian 3 6 player theater that was at the Minolta Tower, read to find out what happened.

Very nice article. Thanks for writing and posting! I played Galaxian 3 in a theater configuration in the early 90's at the Trocadero at Piccadilly Circus in London, UK. They also had an R360 there, complete with an attendant. I still have the token-cards from that awesome arcade. ahhh!

I believe the arcade at the Trocedero was trying to make a comeback, but not sure of the status.

Good read, thanks for sharing! Was thinking of going to Niagara this month, wouldn't it be nice if something like the Galaxian theater still existed there? Guess I could always go to Vaughan for Air Raid.
