Lots of old school games. Kids first time playing pinball! Staff were all friendly and did a great job! Food was delicious. Great atmosphere! Definitely worth the drive.

We visited this spot while in town for a concert. Large selection of classic arcades. Very nice lineup of classic and modern Pinball machines. Everything was well maintained and clean. The place was very busy and the staff did a great job of serving the crowd in a timely manner. Looking forward to going back.

Hey are there different games in different places? I've only been to one location and there are like... Many games bit none are Pokémon related or like a very VERY recent Japanese arcade games.

[!-•Hau:P •-!] | May 28, 2022
Bryan White | May 28, 2022

Yes they do have other games at the other locations. They don’t have anything Pokémon related. The only “recent” Japanese games they have (that I’m aware of) are the rhythm games (Museca, Crossbeats, Jubeat). Denton and Richardson also have Bishi Bashi Channel which is a competitive party game. If you go to the website for each location they have a list of the games that are available.
