Re: 1980s video game arcades
After school I use to go down to Waialae Bowl and attack the Dark Knight Pinball Machine. EKF had one in Waikiki too but it was always broken. I almost bought a restored one off of ebay but got scared when the shipping was $500. so I bought a Pachinko machine instead. A few years ago my friend was throwing away a space invaders sit down console that still worked. I didnt have the room to keep it so it sat on the street and got vandaled. When i look on ebay today i get sick....$1000

Does anyone know where we can go NOW to play these games? Pearlridge FF are all the latest games, Diner's took their last standups out, I know the laundromat in Kona still has a GALAGA, made doing laundry fun.___

Re: 1980s video game arcades
You would think a nickel or penny arcade would be somewhere in Chinatown or even Kaimuki.
I lived in Fullerton, Calif., and in the downtown area we had a place called "The Reagan Years," compete with a caricature of the Gipper playing an arcade game. It had all the classics, and it only cost a nickel to play.---

You are correct it was indeed Kaimuki Cue and it was shut down via a FBI/HPD raid 25 years ago. They had the most violations, I see old Poker machines being carried away in the parking lot. Here are some others that were also cited or busted for illegal activity at the time 25 years ago:
