The NC State Starcade had a Gauntlet arcade game in the upper area while I was manager there in ‘95-‘96.

Found this in a letter (May 15, 1997) while going through some 3.5 Floppy Discs.

"Speaking of classic arcade game. Boy do I miss managing Starcade. I walked in there yesterday and a lot of old customers were asking me to come back. Some had said they had heard of a rumor that I was opening my own arcade down the road. The funny thing about that is that I had thought of opening one down the street in an old McDonald’s but, I hadn’t told anybody. I wonder how they found out? Who knows? That place has lost a lot of money since I left. Their sales dropped off by $3,000 a month."

The old Mission Valley Starcade location at NCSU. I visited this arcade once in the early 90s and I remember it being a small arcade. This location had something the Electric Co. Mall one didn't, it had a crane game and maybe even a coin pusher.

One of the prizes offered at Starcade were these Bushnell binoculars. I don't remember how many tickets it cost me but it was at least 300-500. Circa 1995 or 1996.

Brightened the photo and we can now make out the games better.
