Almost had a bummer of a time.

Drove from Columbia S.C. because I saw 2 games I can't find ANYWHERE else. The lady working the front was personable and told me to come back if I needed anything.

I sit down in the Outrun 2 cab, and it's frozen... Not a great start. So, I just ask that girl if we can try resetting it with a simple restart. And she does. It was really as easy as asking an employee, no annoyance from either side. Then it worked like it should. It definitely seemed to be a PC copy set up in a way to not let us mess it up. But they have options to let you get almost everything from 1 of the 2 games in that version. Played great, maybe lower the steering dead zone a few degrees.

Ecstatic that the Die hard cab definitely felt like the real machine, as slow and fluid as I remember so no emulator issues. Both sides function perfectly.

Also take your time scrolling the multicades, they have different games on them.

Only things I'd personally add is a second skeeball to compete. And there are 0 rhythm games. Totally a place for a DDR or something less prone to breaking by the door. (Infuriating front desk I'm sure)

Great time. Will be back at least once with the girl.

Honestly, if it was down completely I would've sucked it up and not wrote any review at all. Just word of mouth. But the customer...

Super glad we went here. I grew up in the 90s, and it felt like home. Funnily enough, my 11 year nephew also enjoyed it. He said he liked it more than Dave and Busters, and said his only complaint was that the DDR machine buttons weren't great (this is pretty common on all DDR machines). There were tons of pinball machines and a massive variety of arcade games — including games that emulated older consoles [Atari, TurboGrafx, Famicom (yes, really) etc]. Games went all the way back to Tron and Asteroids. Everything is Free Play, so you just pay when you come in and everything (except the one claw machine) is free. I spent a lot of time on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Simpsons, Hydro Thunder, and Galaga. They also had some cool vintage artifacts, such as older consoles and even an original Atari Hercules pinball (insanely rare). Even better, the owners were very friendly. The snacks were also incredibly affordable. I got two bottles of water and a 20 oz coke for $4.50, so they don't gouge on those. They also had a membership thing where $80 gets you all the time you want for an entire month. Only reason I didn't get it is because I live about 25 mins away. Still, I'll definitely be back. A lot of fun packed...

Games were nostalgic and plenty of them but many of the joysticks were lagging and hard to really play. To be expected in some cases of course but more than just a few. Worst of all was the staff member Mike. Instead of addressing a situation where my children made a few missed throws on the Skeeball machine and didn't know they couldn't throw at the same time, he chose to scold them like they were despondent children and lashed out about "do you have $10,000 to pay for the machine? I didn't think so." Shortly after, he made my youngest cry after scolding her about not hitting a reset button on the older pinball machines since they didn't have a timeout. With the same $10,000 rant. They weren't damaging the machines and were unintentionally forgetting the "rules". Address politely. If that doesn't work, address the parent. If it continues, THEN ask them to leave. That would be acceptable. Getting some sort of vigor from berating a child, rather than simply showing them HOW to reset the machine, is simply despicable and definitely a sign of a weak person. Will never return just...
