Ned Baily can't leave Zaxson and the Galloping Ghost arcade

Gino Frobel

   Galloping Ghost is like the only arcade i have seen in the Chicago area. Although some bars are opening up with a plethora of old time arcade classics there are no real arcades eighties style around until Galloping Ghost opened up on Ogden Avenue in Brookfield. our very own Ned Baily can be found there around the Zaxson and Burger tie games for hours on to an end. Galloping Ghost offers a buffet of the best games from the eighties for fifteen pops to enter. You can stay ten hours munch  on their overpriced candy bars and soda and if you go there you will find a few middle age dudes like Baily hanging around them. They didn't have the opportunity to play has long in their youth as money dried up quickly. The teenagers you will see at Galloping Ghost would never have the chance to hang around the arcade as long as they can these days just paying an entrance fee. Zaxson was an amazing game and a most difficult one at that and Ned Baily's single goal in life is to see if there is ever and end to this classic. personally I can only go to this place one a year and after two hours I am tapped out. It amazes me that nimrods like need can go here often finding entertainment from outdated video games but somehow Galloping ghost has found a niche.    The only thing they have to do though is get rid of that ridiculos KKK looking logo of a nightrider on a horse. That just makes the village of Brookfield look so much like a racist town.
