They are also closed Mon-Wed, so that is something to keep in mind if you are planning to visit. They use the free play model and for now, don’t charge any extra to play the pinball machines (some venues with this business model do so, due to higher maintenance costs). With that many titles I won’t bother listing some out but if you’re looking for some world class retro gaming and can’t make the trip to Galloping Ghost, this is the place to be. I’d seen Retro Ralph mention this place recently, an impressive venue that opened with a whopping 600 games. That’s where I need to read things more carefully 😛 Past Times Arcade (Girard, OH)

They also aren’t strictly classic games, finding a mix of old and new including one of Konami’s Bishi Bashi games, Centipede, Crazy Taxi, Donkey Kong 3, Initial D3, Jubeat, KLAX, Step ManiaX (one of the few newer titles), Time Crisis 3, Turtles In Time and several pinball machines (007, Deadpool, Ghost Busters, The Mandalorian, The Simpsons Pinball Party, Total Nuclear Annihilation, etc).ĮDIT: My apologies on calling this Point Break Arcade. They are in the heart of the city, “just half a block from city hall,” and have two floors, although from a recent post on their Facebook page, that floor is mostly sparse at the moment. Find them online here.Īlso in retroish arcades with the free play model, but over in Florida is the newly opened Point Break Arcade. Capcom 2, Time Crisis 3, and plenty more. Some of those games include Area 51/Maximum Force, Blitz ’99, CarnEvil, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Guitar Hero Arcade, Mario Kart Arcade GP, Marvel Vs.

Gamers looking for some classic arcade gaming in Southern Texas can rest easy now that Quasars Arcade has completed their move and opened a new location. If you have a new venue that recently opened that we haven’t covered before, please let us know! North America Quasars (Corpus Christi, TX) We’re also seeing more openings for this Watch in Europe than in the US, so it seems that some of the electrical issues that were slamming ops last year might have subsided.įind the last Location Watch here Big thanks to everyone who sends in links about these as well as stories from Replay Magazine and InterGame Online. Growth in this regard seems steady but given what I’ve seen from my business this summer, I hope that it’s been good for everyone, including the newcomers to the scene (this has been the slowest start to a summer I’ve seen in years, excepting 2020). We cover them from any part of the world, splitting the news up between different world regions. Welcome to Location Watch, a series of posts that focus on brand new arcade businesses that have opened their doors recently.
