    I stopped by here just driving through and I'm very glad I did! What a great Classic Arcade! It definitely took me back to my childhood days. They have a totally rad mix of 80s and early 90s arcade machines with a tubular lineup of pins - like, with a few now pins, too! Their console lineup is totally awesome with lots of places to pop a squat. They have board games, too, if you're in the mood to be cool and relax. The price didn't gag me with a spoon, either! It was, like, reasonable, ya know. I wish my son and I had more time there because the all day pass would have been far out to the max! Go there, my dudes and dudettes. It won't be a drag in the slightest.

    What a fantastic business model for an arcade! You pay by the hour, and all of the games are FREE. No messing around with quarters or having games take your money. The price is reasonable, about ten dollars an hour. You pay when you leave. As far as the games go, there's a ton of variety. They have old, old arcade classics up to some modern game consoles that you can play on a couch. And they have some more tactile games like air hockey, skeeball, and DDR. The staff were friendly, the place was clean. We went on a Friday night and there was a lot of people but we were still able to play most of the games we were interested in without waiting.

    SO much fun and very nostalgic! You pay by the hour ($9.25), not for games. After the first hour it’s in 15min increments so you don’t have to time your exit and they round down to the last 15mins. Tons of arcade games, video games, pinball machines… we played In the Groove 3 (DDR), Guitar Hero, air hockey, ski ball… they have big TVs with couches with every gaming system starting with Atari. This would be a great date night activity after hitting up Kuay Tiew Noodles or one of the many great restaurants nearby!

    This place is so much fun I can't even begin to tell you. We came here after dinner and we played arcade games and we played on the TV some PS4 or 5 whatever it is now. Such cool dudes that work here in such a cool vibe

    Took my nephews ages 7 and 4 for 2 hours of fun. It’s only $10 per person for the first hour. You can’t beat the price. The kids just keep pushing play and you don’t have to add any money to a card. Just pay in the way out. The 4yr old was free. Some of the games were a little tall for him so he used a stool. Lots of great games to choose from. Kids loved Mrs Pac-Man and the extensive selection of pinball machines. Also ski ball, air hockey and other so much more. I felt like a kid going back in time. I enjoyed it as much as they did. Looking forward to going back. Great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon!

    This place is a lot of fun and worthy of 4.5 stars. My only complaint is that they did not have an Atari paddle controller, so the game I chose (Kaboom) was unplayable. However, there are hundreds of games available, and the kids had as much fun as we did! The price for admission is very reasonable and I'm glad to not have to deal with a token system.

    This is a fun arcade experience for all millennials! It is play all for a fixed amount. We went with the hourly rate but if you plan to stay more than 2 hours I recommend you get the full day package.

    👾🎮Fun gaming area! The price per hour is simple to understand. You can start playing as soon as you get there. In my opinion however, there is not that much of a variety of games. Yeah theres shooting games, combat, and others like guitar hero, i found it to be more or less the same. There was also play stations/wi connected to a tv. They will ask to hold ur phone until you finish using their controllers, as a collateral. My favorite was guitar hero! There are many food stores nearby, so I think this is a fun arcade to come to with your friend. Make sure to bring cash or credit though, as they don’t accept any touch less payment.

    find all those games. They bring back nice memories. I was hoping to find video games of Capcom vs Street Fighter or the King of Fighters. or more of that generation. I liked the location, I had a nice time. I live 1 hour from the location but it was worth it. I will return with more friends😁🙂

    I like this place a lot it’s fun and the workers are friendly enough. Most of the time it gets overrun by a younger crowd so people my age (30’s) can’t get a TV usually to play retro consoles because the kids are playing Fortnite or Spider-Man etc, or it takes a while to get a spot. Def far more kids and teens and their parents than people 25+. It caters to both but there are mostly kids and teens there.

    Honestly might be one of my favorite arcades I ever visited. It had a good amount of classic/retro stuff but also a bunch of big TVs with modern console games too. For the price, it is really fun to be able to just keep playing games without buying credits, this place just charges by hour. Just very reasonable for the price and a very fun time!

    If I lived closer I would come every week. The games are great, especially the pinball. It's nice to finally find an arcade that takes pride in its pinball games. That's very rare. The guy who worked there was very friendly and helpful too. Loads of fun.

    What an awesome place, for kids and adults. Went to a birthday party with my son. So much fun. Nostalgia for sure with the older arcade games, Atari, and pinball, but new console stuff too. Wish they'd open one in Flemington with all the revitalization going on right now!
