    My sad score
    Travis P.

    I read some reviews and decided to come within the last hour before closing. Normally unlimited play is $12 for all day but at the last hour they gave us a discount for $6 per person. Ended up coming at 7:15 and played for 45 minutes (IMO this is enough to enjoy the machines). In terms of quality, its decent. You got your classic fighting games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Killer Instinct. They also had a foosball table and basketball machine that were unlimited place. There are some paid games such as the pinball machines (25 cents) and crane games ($1). Overall a great place to kill some time.

    3 Stars - Why only 3 Stars? Condition, Condition, Condition. Some games (Xevious, Zaxxon, Dig Dug, and some others) have had their arcade CRTs replaced with LCDs. For most people, that wouldn't matter. If you have ever played a game on the original CRT, the LCD isn't a good, and for Zaxxon, it makes the game almost unplayable (and Zaxxon is hard enough!). The concept is good - $12 for a wrist band, you have to pay quarters now to play the pinball machines - they were the most popular, and were racking up $200 repair bills, so making people pay quarters has cut down on the wear and tear. A few games were down (most of these games were out there in the 1980's and were expected to last 5 years, so at 40+ years, this is no surprise). They do have some basic candy and drinks available for a charge. If you come in within an hour of closing, the per person charge drops to $6, so if you are bargain hunting, that's a good idea. Great classics working: Star Castle - I forgot how fun that game was. And that CRT can't be replaced as the boards on the CRT are part of the game. Tempest Asteroids Deluxe Super Sprint (surprisingly hard) A good pinball row with one EM and 4 solid state units. A fair number of drivers. See the photos. The place has a Ecto 1 Replica on one side, if you are into Ghostbusters. If you like to play classic arcade games, game on.

    Ask the Community - Andys Awesome Arcade

    Would this be a decent place to host a 9 year olds birthday party? He wants to play arcade games for his birthday. How do you contact the business?

    Yes. Check to see if you can bring in food. They have a space that is away from the games to eat.

Between the pool tables, basketball machines, games, and drinks, there's always something going on and it's such a fun spot to hang out with friends. We had an amazing time and loved the atmosphere!

So we went over today, then get some dinner once we were played out. There is some food on the premisses. M had spotted a Taco Tuesday deal $3 for 3 with an alcoholic beverage purchase....lets see what else is on the menu...ah... I'm not going any further with the cuisine, I'll say its not my kind of place to eat. However Pin Ball is defiantly the game and there are plenty other games too. Pool x 4 tables, Air Hockey, driving, shooting, grab a prize, photo booth, cotton candy. basketball, no skeet ball, and the rest. Beer, wine and sodas are available. Sound is plenty good a giant fan helps to take the heat off you. No screens to be seen. Minors are subject to certain days and times, this is ideally an adult escape. See ya kids foodguy-Martin

Some reviews was kinda steering me away and I was very apprehensive about this establishment. But I'm glad we were bored out of our minds and fought thru my apprehension and gave in. It was a pleasant surprise . A little bit of something for everyone. Plenty of Arcade games, plenty of billiards table and classic American fried foods. Of course the front cute gift shop and shirts. The atmosphere was energetic and enjoyable. Music and game noises, seating areas for food, and even seats throughout the pool rooms. $18 and hour fit the table, not too bad. We did enjoy our experience. The workers were nice and only intercom yelled at a costumer for sitting on the pool table. Go try it out.

I cannot say much for the service & food as my brother went up & ordeered. Judging how it was not a long wait for our beer, things are pretty efficient. This might have been the place we came to years ago for wonderful fish sandwiches & fries. In any case, I will have to try their food & more of their expansive beer selection the next time I am in town. They seem to have something for everyone weather games, drinks, food, or shirts. Keep up the good work guys.

We didn't have a whole lot of time, but could definitely spend a few hours in their and not play the same game twice! The place was clean and the machine to get the players card was easy to use. The credits needed to play the game ranged from 3-8 credits among the games we played and were a great price for the amount of time we got on them. The Spiderman coin machine one just kept going long after I thought we used enough tokens in the game! We didn't get to spend the tickets we earned this time around but the prizes looked like better quality prizes compared to the other places. We will definitely be coming back when we have more time!

However, I'm giving a one-star rating due to their severely overpriced retro games and consoles. I understand the overhead costs, repairs, and testing required to ensure products work, but most items are marked up at least 20% higher than other local game stores. I came in specifically looking to support local business by buying a PSP-3001, but they wanted $220 for just the console and charger. For comparison, I found a bundled PSP on eBay with preloaded games for $180. There are plenty of other retro game stores in the area with much fairer, more competitive pricing. Even standard retailers like GameStop offer better deals along with 1 to 2 year extended warranties. Great atmosphere, but the prices are hard to justify.
