Arcade tips for Lima

Hitting the arcades in Lima? Play smarter:

• Test the controls before committing at VirtualX. Joysticks drift, buttons stick, guns misalign. One test credit saves a wasted game.
• Racing games: sit properly at Chuck E. Cheese. Feet on the pedals, hands at nine and three. The cabinet is a simulator if you treat it like one.
• Check age policies. Some arcades are all-ages by day and 19+ at night, especially the bar-arcade hybrids. Check before bringing kids.
• Watch the regulars first. The high-score table tells you which machines are hot and who's worth watching. Fifteen minutes of watching teaches plenty.
