The world of Warcraft Legion expansion had a pretty neat rogue hideout. Flash your members coin to a shop owner and he opened the hidden passageway to our subterranean lair. Luckily when khadgar ripped up the entire city and teleported it to a new floating home in the sky he brought the basement too.

Huge arcade to replace Nordstrom at San Francisco mall

I just went to a Round1 near the Sacramento area. Half of the available arcade space was taken up by claw machines. I guess this is what they mean by the imported games. Other selections of games included a racing game a little more Gran Turismo like in that you could progressively upgrade a vehicle. It seemed this had the ability to save profiles but as it was all in the native Japanese text I'm only guessing. I fumbled through the menu until it let me run a course. DDR, lightspeed challenge, and some other rhythm/beats type games were there but I wouldn't call them anything out of a normal arcade. I went there hoping to find a vr headset type game, which they had, but every one was out of order. Then a handful of the old sit in a booth fixed gun turret shooters, and your basket shoot and see all type games.

They use a charge tokens to a card system which is fine really but every game costs 6+ credits ($1.50). Blew through 20 bucks in about as many minutes. That was my experience, take from that what you will.

I don't think they would be considered unknown except the fact that jazz seems not to be a mainstream music genre, but my uncle has introduced me to quite a few artists.

Stanley Clarke

Pat Metheny

Jaco Pastorius

I think you would probably know those. Plenty of good stuff from them. The others that stood out to me were:

Gabor Szabo

Al Di Meola

I tend to enjoy instrumental stuff in all genres and had not listened to much jazz before so it's great to have a plethora of "new" music to explore.
