Retroactive Arcade — Local services in South Lake Tahoe

My grandmother lived in Tahoe growing up so we used to come every weekend. Now I bring my own kids a couple times out the year so they can have Tahoe memories too! We came across this arcade walking and sight seeing and it was just so nostalgic to see all the arcade games from my generation! The prices are way better than the casino arcade and had a much better selection of games! You pay a fee to get in and get to play the games all day long! This is amazing and wish there was something like this when I was a kid. We happen to peek in the window right when someone came to open up the place. I didn’t catch his name but super friendly and allowed us to take a tour of the inside! Of course once the kids got a peek they wanted to stay and play! Love the color schemes and plenty of seating out front!

This is such a great idea and definitely a great location! I would highly recommend this for your kiddos or adults who are kids at heart to enjoy some good arcade fun! We definitely will be back again...

It's a cool place that's worth a visit. The owner was nice and 25$ will get you unlimited freeplay which is pretty good. Good variety of games for a casual 30+ year old, but anyone who's been to a good Japanese-style arcade won't be impressed.

The quality of the machines was okay, there are some bad controllers and screen filters which isnt rare. If you want to play some pinball, go a couple rounds of Street Fighter 2, skeeball, basketball, Time Crisis 2, this is...

They haven't opened yet, but I've seen the games running and talked with the owners. All the machines look brand new, but are refurbished classics from the 80s & 90s. Of you want to play old school arcade games, you're not going to find a better place to get that fix. They have a list of their games on their website, but I was excited to see the original Off-Road, Frogger, and, Zaxxon.

Can't wait to play as soon...
