It's the best and wonderful place!!! I thought I might get bored quickly, but I ended up staying for 5 hours. I was able to experience valuable games that are rarely ported to consoles. I think the maintenance is well done compared to other place. If I could make a request, I would like the volume of OutRun to be made even a little louder. And if you have AfterBurner, I look forward to it coming someday.

This is *almost* a hidden gem of a place with a very retro and cool vibe. The music videos playing are awesome, the whole atmosphere is like being transported to the 80s or early 90s. The price is also on point. $8 por kids ($12 adults) for unlimited arcades for one hour is great. Except there's a catch and it's one big con...once you start playing you quickly realize there's almost no real good arcades here. About 30% are early versions of NES games. Not a single pinball, and almost everything else is way, way too old. I found about 3 or 4 arcades that I recognized as great classics out of 50 or so. Getting rid of 10 junk arcades that they have and replacing them with 5 really good classics would take this place to another level. I would start with Street Fighter. Until then it's good place to go out of curiosity because this place feels more like a museum of old, not-so-fun arcades.

My partner and I had a great time working through some classic arcade games of different generations, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. For a relatively small space, I was impressed by how many they fit in there without feeling too cramped. 99% of the …

Awesome classic arcade! From the classic games to the classic tunes this place rocks! A great little mom & pop arcade that brings you right back to the days of putting up quarters for next up. They have tons of games with different variety - racing games, fighting games, side scrollers… it is an awesome spot and very affordable

Exceeded my expectations! I was glad to see that the owners had worn masks, and they were very courteous. Place and machines were well kept. The place was not too crowded tonight. For $12 before tax (Wed, Thurs special), it is definitely …

This place is incredible! So many amazing old school games and the owner is super nice and welcoming. I booked it for a party of about 20 adults on a Friday afternoon and it was so fun we're talking about making it a regular thing. Can't recommend enough!!
