Midnight Video is open. Action sporadic. Although I like this place, I don't like the way the arcade works. Purchase a receipt with a code number. Input the number into the booth and then start searching for your choice in videos. Spend too much time searching while the clock ticks down.

Would gladly pay a ten or fifteen dollar flat rate for unlimited access to all booths.

Anyone been to Midnight Video recently? Are they open? Arcade and all? Planning a trip to Joplin, would love to spend some time there.

I liked this place when they used tokens. I hate this new way using PIN numbers! I'd pay a ten or fifteen dollar entry fee for a few hours of unlimited viewing. This PIN number system sucks.

Visited again in July. Like I said before they did away with using tokens. Now you pay at the desk and get a paper receipt. PIN number on receipt inputs your minutes. You can hit stop before they run out and reuse the PIN in another booth. I definitely do not like that.

The new system gives you access to a couple hundred channels. You search down though a database type listing, i.e., straight, bi, gay, lesbian. Then you have to go video to video to find what you like. You can waste a couple credits just finding what you like.

Other video arcades have gone to paying one price, $10 or $15 for unlimited time during your visit. I much prefer this to wasting credits searching for what gets you off.

Hope they wake up. I would gladly pay $15 or maybe more for unlimited access.

Some updates made to the video arcade. They still have the crappy CRT video monitors, but they have upgraded the controls. New touch screen controls and a fixed audio.

However, they did away with using tokens. Now you pay at the desk and get a paper receipt. Pin number on receipt inputs your minutes. You can hit stop before they run out and reuse the pin in another booth. Not sure I like that. I kinda get excited with the sound of jingling of tokens.

Still a good place to meat people. Shame they don't invest in some better video equipment. Video booths are adequate but the old CRT screens suck. Sound is either on loud or not at all. Great buys on DVDs.

The place is still there. Action hit or miss. I always stop by when traveling north on I-49.


Thanks for mentioning this one, too. I noticed our map was very wrong and the directions were out of date, so I corrected them.

Guys, with the thousands of places listed on the site the only way I know if a place has a problem like this is when I see it in a review or someone emails me. Since the site is over twenty years old there's a lot of incomplete or out of date information.

I hope, with your help, to make this the best and most complete site for cruising information, adult stores, baths, beaches, etc., etc. Please keep the reviews and questions coming! ~ Editor

I still like this place. Always find action. But the TV type video screens are getting real old. Some have such poor video quality I just leave the booth and go to another. Seems that flatscreens are getting so cheap they could upgrade and maybe improve visitation.

I really like this place. Friendly staff, no doors on the arcade booths, but no one seems to mind. Mixed clientele, slow at times, but I always seem to get my fill.

Stopped by while traveling through, and it looks like it might be the only arcade still open. All the others I checked eastbound, all the way to Saint Louis, were closed because of some new Missouri law. Cluttered or not, it's the only game in town. And I managed to lay my lips on three nice cocks.

Third try in the last month and I was again the only customer. Booths were always littered.

I dropped by for a few minutes while traveling east. Around noon time I found the place pretty deserted. However, the staff were friendly and I was able to suck on nice cock while I was back in the arcade. The arcade uses tokens, $3 minimum, and it was very nice, dark, lots of booths and privacy. I'd go again if I am ever in the area.

I have been here several times. Most of the booths have a buddy window and no gloryholes. One time I jacked off a hot young 'straight' boy, and another time I met a younger guy and went home with him. Not bad action. I'm hearing the late night clerks are bitches about guys loitering.

I go to Joplin on business quite frequently. This place is totally no longer gay-friendly. God help you if you walk in and even look like a fag. After spending over $20 in the arcade, I just needed a breather and was standing around chatting with others. The clerk came back and said, 'get in a booth and drop tokens or get out!' I'll be taking my business elsewhere!

This place has changed. I was there a week ago and they are no longer gay friendly. There are new signs up threatening you if you don't stay in a booth. the clerk comes around every half-hour to make sure the doors are shut in the arcade and that no one is hooking-up. Very sad. This used to be a happening place. I doubt if I will ever go back.

The booths are smallish and in spite of there being close to a dozen videos in the display case, there were only a few playing. As for action, I was there on a Tuesday or Wednesday about 6:30 to 8 pm and it was dead both times.

There is action at this place all the time. Most of the guys are average (like me), but there is one old guy who constantly cruises and is really persistent and annoying. They have buddy booths, but most guys won't just enjoy watching each other through the window. Every buddy I've had there always wants more. The one time I let a buddy in to my booth, he was a hot middle-aged guy with a hard stomach and even harder cock.

This is a great bookstore with a lot of porn and a wonderful arcade. I have sucked some of the biggest cocks attached to some of the hottest married guys here. It's awesome.
