What a tremendous experience. This place is clean, well-kept, with a very comprehensive collection of arcade cabinets and pinball machines. All of the games are operational and in wonderful condition. Galaga, PAC Man, super Mario, virtua fighter, street fighter - you name it from your youth, and it can be found here. This place truly harkens back to a different time, and I had a sense of nostalgia during my entire stay. The 80's music definitely helped! The staff were absolutely wonderful, and were attentive, kind, and courteous. If you're craving a trip down memory lane to the arcade era, look no further! read more

Marcade Family Fun Center is located in the Rockaway River Commons. It has a corner space in the smaller building on site with plenty of parking. Space is large and open with several rows of arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and gaming consoles. Machines were in generally good shape with only a few being out of order or needing attention. Marcade has a good selection of the usual machines you'd find at a retro arcade, along with a few unique machines, including several sit down racing cabinets. I personally enjoyed the Rampage World Tour and Terminator 2: Judgment Day machines. Space was very clean and prices for an hour were reasonable. Marcade is a average but solid retro arcade that is absolutely worth a visit if in the area. read more

90s (and 80s!) kids, here is your chance to relive your childhood in a clean, fun atmosphere. Nearly every game works too. It was beautiful living in a world where I could play the arcade version of The Simpsons without begging mom for quarters! Using Groupon, it was only $30 for the three of us to play unlimited games. Fun alternative to Dave and busters (I hate the willowbrook location so I'll be bringing my business to marcade!). read more

Was looking for something to do on a rainy Labor Day and I stumbled across some offers on the Living Social App for Marcade. Pretty good deals... Either $10 for all day pass or Buy 1 get 1 for a 1 hour pass. So basically half price whichever offer you choose. We checked in at the front desk and let them know we were going to use the offer. We each got a wristband and were off to explore the games. They have so many great classic games! Some of my favorites were Frogger, Tapper, Popeye, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Q Bert, Centipede, Space Invaders, Street Fighter,... and many others. Also a great selection of pinball and some driving & shooting games. We really had fun for an hour playing some of our old school favorites. The staff was nice and friendly and everything was very clean and well maintained. I also took note they have a party area upfront as well. Definitely recommend this location... read more

Well laid out, plenty of part space. Good selection of classic games but machines could be cared for a bit more. Needs some newer pinball titles. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic and a hidden gem. I found it by accident on my way back from PA. All the games are from the 80s and 90s so it's a retro gamer's paradise. It was pretty empty when I went - shame, since the place must be electric on a Saturday night. The machines are beautifully maintained and the volume is cranked on most of them (good choice!), so you get a visceral experience. Please stop by if you're in the area. It's truly a thing to behold. You won't regret it! read more

This place is awesome. I found it by accident. A lot of retro video games from the 80's and 90's. I was in heaven. All the machines worked flawlessly. Video games that I had forgotten about when I was young were all there. I was back in my childhood again. Checking in is a pleasant experience, and the customer service is excellent! I will definitely be returning! Do yourself a favor and visit this place. You will love it as much as I did. read more

Nice, clean, low key arcade with lots of key classics! We attended a kids' birthday party at the Dover location, the ambiance was nice and the games weren't annoyingly loud. All the games were set on free play mode, and most were functioning as they should (maybe 3 were in the process of getting fixed, and a couple had semi-working joysticks or buttons). Staff was friendly, facilities were clean, and there is a sink outside the bathrooms to wash hands (hand sanitizer also available at front desk). Would definitely come here again! read more

Went to the Rockaway Mall location, I've had issues with other flat fee arcades and their prices but I had a lot of fun at this location and the prices were reasonable! $10 for a half hour, $15 for an hour and $20 for an all day pass. Lots of fun games including a NEO-GEO multi system, plenty of arcade and pinball machines, even some rhythm games and some video game consoles near the back. I'll be coming back to play that Simpsons arcade cabinet lol read more

Yesterday I threw a surprise birthday party for my wife at this venue. I interacted with the staff and the owner and I could not be more satisfied- VERY reasonable pricing and they were accommodating to every request we had. The arcade games are very well maintained and the games are appropriate for all ages/generations. We will be there again very soon! Go out and support a local business that cares about what it does and cares about their customers! read more

I recently had my 50th birthday party at the Dover location. They played my choice of music, projected on the back wall a movie themed to my celebration, and the staff stayed on top of my guests needs and the cleanliness of the venue. It was a cool option and very memorable. Absolute 5 stars. read more

Fun place! Reminds me of the arcade in Wreck it Ralph. My 5yo was a bit young for some of the games, but we'll definitely come back again.

Cool place with lots of old school stuff. Looked like it was a place for parties and gamers

Came here for my sons classmates birthday. The thought of an arcade is super cool. I really appreciated the attention to detail such as the sink faucet, light switch and wall art. The layout was easy to navigate for everyone. There is a pagoda type structure for the party area, tight but absolutely enough space to do whats needed. From what I observed they provide nothing and the parents bring in the food and beverages which was fine. The kids seemed to have a great time and I think the X-BOX station was the biggest hit. I think the same reason the 8/9 years olds may not be able to take advantage of the bulk of the other games, the parents loved it cause the bulk of the games were from our years, pinball, and so on (I wasn't an arcade kid) The staff was pretty chill there to assist if needed, oh oh oh ! So the system goes like this ... you go in, pay for the amount of time you want, get a wristband and go play ALL the games as many times as you want for that time period !! no coins, cards, cash needed ! great system If you are into gaming I think its a great contained place that's not over the top. Try It ! read more

What an amazing place! All the old school arcade games you can imagine along with some pinball machine games! Decor is nice and suiting for the place. They also have Xbox one games with couches for you to sit and play. Price wasn't too bad either. It starts at 1 hr for $10 and all games are unlimited. Would definitely recommend it! I will be coming back more often. read more

Marcade is awesome, the games were in very good condition and was able to play our favorite classics Joust, Moon Patrol, etc. as well as games I'd never played as a teen back in the 80's. Video bowling, pinball, no issues and staff are friendly. We had a really fun time. read more

I wish something like this existed in my hometown. I was visiting and a friend took me here. There were so many games that I've never seen before. So fun - and the pricing is very reasonable. read more

Pricing is fair and games are fun. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to work our way through the games that interested us. It was clean and spacious (even with a party in progress). read more

Would be a great play to visit however the owner marc isn't the right fit. He failed at other business and sadly this one is already being ran into the ground. Should have just sold T4C, instead, as a terrible owner that you are, you let others ruin your rightful copyright. Godofnea.com is using your copyright in the States, and you do nothing about it. Therefore you don't care. Really wished a great place like this truly existed. read more

This place is so much fun and my grandkids loved it and so did we. Brought us back to our youth playing pinball. Can't wait to return

Found out that opening night was tonight (4/12), a Friday night. Perfect night to blow off some steam after work. Since I live not too far from there, decided to venture out. I loved the game layout. For opening night, they had so many games, at least 100 games. They must have had almost 10 type of shooter games, different Pac Man games, fighting games, etc. A lot of pinball machines as well. What I also liked was that the aisles are spread out a bit so you don't feel crowded. Rates seem to be the same as Morristown Game Vault. They were doing a promo tonight, free play for everyone, to celebrate their grand opening, so that was really nice. They were also giving away free pizza. I've been to the Morristown Game Vault as well, so I can compare the 2. Same types of retro games, but Marcade seems to have a little bit more in terms of number of games. Marcade definitely has more floor space. Extra bonus??? Marcade is in the Shop Rite shopping center, so there is plenty of FREE parking! For me, it's hard to compare both places, because they have the same type of retro gaming theme, and I found out that the owners actually know each other, and the Game Vault owner helped Marc set up his arcade! I thought that was really cool to hear. Marc seems like a really nice guy, and I can tell he has a passion for these older games. I hope he does really well with this new business. I know I'll be back and will be bringing more people, especially since it's not too far from me, and parking is free. In case anyone asks about the rates, this is what they were when I was there last: $7 for 30 minutes, $10 for 1 hour. Every 1/2 hour after that is $5. I think it's $25 max for the day. Not 100% positive on that, but check with the arcade when you go. Tax is not included with those rates. They charge NJ state sales tax on top of the rates. They put a wristband on your wrist, which is used to track how long you are there. So you can stay however long you want, and you pay at the end. If you stay 30 minutes, it's $7 plus tax. 60 minutes, $10 plus tax. read more

Visited here the other day. Nice to have some arcades sprouting backup in the area (e.g. Richie Knucklez, Marcade, Morristown GameVault). Not much to say here. Some real hard to come by games in this location. The other reviewer said that both the GameVault and Marcade are too similar to compare but other than them both offering classic games, pinballs and modern console - that's where the similarities end. Marcade has a better selection of games. I have not seen such games as Thundercade, Berzerk, Kangaroo, Tinstar, Pleiades, Jungle Hunt and several others in the aforementioned locations or Yestercades. In order to find most of these games (minus tin star) one would have to travel to Fun Spot in New Hampshire or Ghalloping Ghost in Brookfield Illinois. I hope they can continue adding more games. And games that were made in the late 80s into the 90s. Maybe some more modern shoot em ups. Keep up the good work. read more

This place is great, they have console systems and a lot of arcade games, many classics. I will be visiting this place more often soon. Great to kill time at the laundry mat or have the kids play there while shopping or getting the car worked on close by. read more

Great place!!! Owner is very nice as well as staff. Very clean as well. I recently had my sons 9th birthday party here and the kids loved it!! Think about this place when booking a party even adults so much fun!!! read more

Great local spot for kids (and kids that never grew up). The prices are reasonable and there are a ton of options, from modern favorites like Fortnite to old fashioned pin ball machines. read more

Many many great games to play, all in super working order! Nice, inviting and large space with eye-catching wall murals of popular game characters. Very reasonable prices. Its an easy place to get lost in the games for a few hours. Will be returning along with my daughter. read more

A gold mine! My s/o and i came in and was greeted by a very nice employee. They explained the breakdown on pricing which was $7 for 1/2 hr, $10 for an hr, and $20 for a day pass, as well as $60 for unlimited play for 3 months. They even let us take a quick peek to see what Marcade has to offer and to see if we were interested which was nice before we bought anything. We then decided that we were going to play! I think its honestly pretty cheap considering its a given time frame and not pay-to-play (which can get pretty pricy very quick), this allowed us to get the full experience of all of the games and not be limited due to funds. There were classic games, pinball, racing games, Xbox, you name it they had it! The inside of the arcade looked pretty cool, there were murals and laser lights on the ceiling, you get a really nice "arcade" atmosphere. 10/10 definitely coming back! The time flew by so fast! read more

A great selection of classic games and new games. Very clean and friendly staff. Some of the retro games are amazing to see in such good condition. Fair prices and easy to play game quickly. No credits to worry about. An hour goes by quick on this place! read more
