Mayhem Amusements Arcade — Attraction in Stroudsburg

AWESOME. I'm a local, though haven't been on Main St in a while, and my husband brought me here as a surprise after dinner...because he KNEW. I'm a big fan of the Yestercades in NJ and this is just what I need here locally - I hope they can expand! So glad this place is here. I'm 45 and felt like a kid again. Hubs killed it in Ms Pacman. lol I plan on meeting up with my 18 & 20 y/o daughters here soon for a fun night out after dinner. Give 'em a taste of the old days. Impressive pinball selection for the space. I loved the Western theme one - he played the Star Wars. So many classic machines with a couple multi- game machines. I played Super Mario 2 - one of my faves - but had to stop when I ran out of quarters. (you have to keep depositing quarters every few minutes or so) Bring cash!! Exchange for quarters in the classic...

A unicorn in the wild. This has to be the only place on the whole east coast where you can play real, original classics in real cabinets, with real quarters, AND everything is in good working order. I've searched. 99.99% of retro arcades will give you make you pay $20 at the door, give you a card to swipe, make you buy a beer, etc. etc. Not the end of the world, but just so different from how it was in the good old days. No one else is letting you waltz in and actually play Ms. Pac-Man and Centipede for a quarter each. I know this can't be profitable, and it makes it harder to keep everything in working order, so I want to say THANK YOU to the owner for keeping the nostalgia alive. I wish I lived closer or I'd be here every day trying to take down those high scores like it...

They moved down the street since my last visit. The new location has more space and a share retail space with The Anarchist Closet, a thrift/consignment store that I can best describe as vintage punk.

The games are still in great shape, the pinball games are fully functional with good flippers. Broken games are quickly flagged and repaired.

I really appreciate that this place is on coin drop and not a flat rate for admission. I have stopped by many times when I have some free time to play some games. I would not go nearly as often if I had to pay a flat rate for admission.

I would encourage anyone driving nearby to stop in for...
