Challenge Arcade — Attraction in Wyomissing

What a decent place to blow off some steam from your work day and play some classic games like Mappy, Ms Pacman, and also shoot pinball, air hockey or pool since there's a pool table as well. If only there's a more of a selection of pinball tables, but over the times I've been here, there used to be a Led Zeppelin themed pinball machine and a sports car themed one called high speed, but those machines aren't there anymore unfortunately. I also remember an Xevious machine there but that's gone too. But at least there's still Ms Pacman, Pacman, Mappy and four pinball machines. The four that are there right now are three vintage machines and a cool modern one called Earth Shaker. Hopefully those stay for a while, but I can handle some changes. Changes make arcade experiences more interesting. So, if you are a local or visiting from out of state and want to blow off some steam at a nice arcade than check out Challenge Arcade at the Berkshire Mall. Happy...

Wish they still had spy hunter, hate to see some of the games go, But overall there's a good couple handfuls of games that I like here, And if you are a lover of the classics that built the industry there's probably plenty for you as well. You don't want to miss this, and be sure to show your kids what a...

There's a lot of cool games here, but some of them are in poor or dicey working order, or seem to be operating on erratic parts, like the Street Fighter IV running in an SF2 style cabinet, or the Crime Patrol II(!) cabinet running off of a very faded CRT. Still, it was really cool to see some niche things here like an original Mappy cabinet and Initial D, so it's well worth checking out.

Also, there's a DDR/Simply Love cabinet that has a few thousand songs on it, but it felt offsync. Always good to see people playing...
