Edit: thanks to the owner for their response. All very reasonable points. Looking forward to coming back again.
Been here a couple times now. They have a great selection of newer pinball titles and the staff is really friendly.
On this most recent visit, I was disappointed to see that most of the pins that were powered up had maintenance issues that hampered their playability. Some examples: Some games were missing some or all of their balls(Congo, 24, venom). Some games had no sound. Iron maiden had a sticking flipper. Houdini had a bad sensor in the upper scoop. In addition, I'm not sure what can really be done about it, but there were tons of abandoned games, often loaded up to max players. It's more of a player etiquette thing but maybe the staff could do a walk around occasionally to clear these? I cleared probably 3-4 games that I wanted to play and after that i just avoided them because I was tired of clearing them. I assume it would be frowned upon for guests to power cycle the games so I won't do that.
I own a few games myself and I know they can be difficult to maintain especially in a public setting, so I hope I don't sound too critical here. There's just a lot of low hanging fruit here to make these games play much better
Overall this place is still a great time and the pricing is fair enough. Hopefully this was just an off night for them, and I'm hoping for better conditions next...
Read moreHIGHLY RECOMMENDED We recently had my son's birthday party at Game Gallery and it was a wonderful experience, we couldn't have asked for anything more. There were so many different arcade games and pinball machines to play that there was something for everyone, not to mention the carnival type games like skee ball, and video bowling. My son and all his friends had so much fun. Some of the parents even ended up sticking around! If you look around at other popular places for kids birthdays, you'll see that it's also a pretty good value for everything you get to do. In addition, the staff were all extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I can't recommend Game Gallery enough. It's a great place to have a party but it'd be equally great just to go yourself or with a friend to have fun playing all the different games. Seriously, if you haven't already, you really need to check...
Read moreRecently got into visiting local arcades. Went to a few up in the North Jersey area while on vacation and had a good time, which got me interested into local arcades. Found this one and wanted to visit due to the almost 5 start rating.
It was very lackluster, if you're super into pinball machines I'd highly recommend this place. Otherwise most of the games I played either had issues or were out of service. Skeeball only 1 out of 3 machines worked. Almost every single shooter had issues or were not working all together. Racing games also either were not working or had issues with the steering wheels.
A lot of the sticks were super loose or unresponsive and a bunch of buttons were not working at all.
Really tried to enjoy the time with a friend and wife but literally every game we tried to coop wasn't playable.
It's a cool spot and again would highly recommend if you're into...
