ONE OF THE BETTER ARCADES IN TOWN!!!

PROS $10 for all you can play gaming buffet! woooo! Has a big bunch of light gun arcades unlike FlashBack RetroPub Very family friendly! Awesome atmosphere, the dark purple light would make some of my clothing glow like in a black light setting or one you'd find in a laser tag arena. huge variety of game machines, except for those that use 3+ people such as those old side scrolling team brawlers. though there was an actual n64, play station, xbox, actual gaming computers, dance dance revolution, that wall of lights that you hit buttons that lit up like a kinda whack a mole, actual whack a mole, 2 skeeballs, 2 foosballs, one pool table, chess, checkers, GIANT UNO CARDS, perhaps more cards n board games but i didnt look that hard. a bunchhhh of racing games with motorcycle \ car seat set ups. and many more games i can't remember \ didn't try.

MIDDLE Outside food and drink not allowed (i get it, don't want people ruining the machines) Children are allowed, i hope none of the game machines gets broken when anyone (not just children) rage quit their games in frustration. i honestly don't understand those that destroy their machines when they suck at a game XD

CONS Dosen't have many arcades that i can tell that have 3+ players in case you come in with a group of 3+ people Unfortunately the dance dance machine can only allow one person to play it. the far left side's left arrow is broken :( only use the right dance pad for now, and even that one wasn't exactly the best condition. Not all the machines sounds work, some are EXTREMELY LOUD AND DROWNS OUT CONVERSATION \ NOISES FROM NEIGHBORING MACHINES. for example theres an aliens resurrection light gun game and it did not have any working sound \ whatever sound it made was overpowered by neighboring machines. The House of the Dead 4 game was super duper loud, some pirate looking light gun game was also super loud despite it being in one of those car front seat looking things.

Take Away -Extremely awesome! mostly beats the adult FlashBack RetroPub in comparison! Very fun, friendly, awesome atmosphere! Can't wait to come back again!

Suggestions note some sort of 'everyone wipe your hands' upon entering the store with the germ killer dispenser. can't trust anyone's grubby hands touching all the things inside the arcade of course. but thats just the germophobe in me talking. machines that are broken are fixed, but with their price model i'd be worried how long they'd stay in business. they did say help em out by word of mouth, which is exactly what i'm...

Yall are wylin. This is such a dump. Most games are either broken, or the screens are shot. Its priced right at $10 but thats about it.

Added: After your gaslighting response below, I've decided to go in depth. 5 of 6 pinball machines broken. Employee behind counter lacked basic knowledge of how backwards compatibility works with game consoles. Controllers for most consoles have drift on their sticks. 3 of the 4 shooting games we played had major problems including very limited range of motion and non functional guns. Most old games had severe issues with the screens and resolution. Motorcycle game was nearly unplayable due to horribly calibrated bikes. Most of these are basic maintenance issues, and they crop up because you bought substandard units at discount to begin with and chose not to repair them fully. My advice would be to get the arcade running properly first before making excuses about expansion. I've been to plenty of arcades with old machines that run great. This is not one of...

This place is fantastic. Retro arcade machines, pinball machines, racing games and numerous video game consoles for a mere $10 entry for all day. They give you a band so you can leave and return if you need a break. They also have a snack bar if you need something to chow down on. The pinball machines, X-Men VS Street Fighter and Dance Dance Revolution is enough to make me want to come back and bring friends with me. Thank you so much for bringing an arcade to this area, we've...
