Retro World Arcade — Local services in Abilene

What a great family-owned business!!! They leased me retro video games for an 80’s theme party and it made the party an AMAZING success. Retro World delivered three units (including an ORIGINAL 2 person MS PACMAN) the afternoon of the party, set the games up, in-serviced us on the equipment, were available by phone for questions, came back out to troubleshoot a game that went off-line at no extra charge, and picked the equipment up the next morning. Their rates were exceptionally reasonable for the service provided, they were helpful, and punctual to the minute. Nothing could have added to the ambience and excitement of the party like having our own “retro arcade” did! The owners of Retro World Arcade have a passion for their beautiful equipment, are very professional to deal with, and are motivated to make their services and equipment available to a wider audience to help build the excitement for these games of yesteryear. I HIGHLY recommend...

Retro World Arcade is a fantastic, nostalgic experience that cannot just be bought. The staff are courteous and attentive. The 80’s music selection is fantastic as it blairs throughout the venue and you’re enjoying your game. You’re reminded of simpler times. The fact that you play all you want for one price is amazing. This arcade has been here for years and the owner continues swapping out new cabinets / games, giving it a fresh feel.

They also do tournaments, events and retro game swaps, giving vendors the chance to come and allow the community to trade out and swap retro games that are not easy to come by.

Other arcades here have not lasted and this one is special, because the owner is so genuine and humble. I recommend this place to all family and friends. It is a breath of fresh air in this city and needs to be more...

We had a great time on New Year’s Eve! They went all out with decorations, treats, a food truck, and a DJ to ring in the new year. This was our first time at the new location and the changes are great. There is plenty of room and lots of new games to play, we especially appreciated the 4 pinball machines up front. These are real classic systems, so make sure you set your expectations accordingly because they require constant maintenance to keep running and you will encounter systems down or running with issues.
