Today I'm up in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and I'm visiting their absolutely humongous Round1 Bowling & Arcade at the Holyoke Mall. I've only been here once before, since it was a pit stop on a road trip out towards Boston, and I didn't get to spend much time checking it out. It's one of the bigger ones I've been to, for sure! Hundreds of games and crane machines, one of the chain's best selections of rhythm games (three separate DDR cabs alongside two PIUs is practically unprecedented), some pinball, some pool tables, over a dozen bowling lanes, and much more! The only thing this particular spot is lacking in is fighting games and sitdown cabs; the only ones I was able to find outside of Injustice and Contest of Champions were a trio of Vewlixes back by the pool tables, all running Street Fighter 6 Arcade Edition. Nevertheless, it was a great start to my Massachusetts road trip and I was very happy to be back!
