Classic Arcade and Pinball Museum — Attraction in Gastonia

I went here for the first time on Sunday just after New Year's. This place is so nice and as soon as I walked in, all the sounds brought me back to being a kid in the arcades back in the 80's complete with 80's music too (nice playlist, by the way)! Playing House of the Dead again was great! Unfortunately, it let me know how old I am as it was a struggle to keep my arms up constantly trying to shoot all the undead. The atmosphere is great, and the pizza is pretty good too. Some of the games' controls were a little off or squirrely, but a lot of these machines are not new or spring chickens anymore, quite like myself. But overall, it felt good to play these games the way the video game gods intended. I'm very appreciative to the owners of this establishment for helping to keep arcades and video game cabinets from a time that has passed alive for younger generations to experience and so I can be...

A Dream Come True

Many people I’m sure have thought of the idea of having a nostalgic arcade full of games from their youth, where music and the pinball machines and other games from decades ago immerse you back into another time of life, where fun was cheap and endless play was available.

Look no further. This dream has come true. There are NUMEROUS games cleanly and neatly situated in an open room where you can play to your hearts desire and music choices from numerous decades are available to choose from. Great food and drinks at very reasonable prices just add to the awesomeness of this place. As I walk around playing games I didn’t even know and some I had forgotten, I hear and see the smiles and comments of how awesome it is. Thank you for this perfect arcade. I hope you succeed and can...

Very nice spot!!

I have been here twice now, the second time was today… and the first was about a month ago. The first time I came I had the privilege of showing up while the owner was there. He’s a very nice guy who clearly loves arcades. We spoke about how his place has improved since it’s open, how he’s always looking for new games and working on them. He works on them himself! Pretty cool!

There are soooo many retro games here. It has more retro arcades than pinballs which is AWESOME! But the pinballs machines available are insanely nice. Some are very old too which I find to be INSANELY COOL! Hard games, easier games, shooters, racing, pinball, 8bit, 32bit ;), hahha you name it they have it.

Day...
