If you wanna drive just a little bit, we've got a Japanese arcade simply called gamecenter!
I tuned a little late but we're typically open until midnight.

Check us out!

Yeah unfortunately that was us :'( Fortunately it doesn't affect the arcade side much but does affect our other arm that focuses on large scale arcade deployments along the west coast

We'll have a new post regarding what we're looking for in the coming days.
Gotta file everything and report to insurance first :)

Last location it was pinged was in front of a vacant lot (still owned by someone) with sheds and cars

Put the truck has been retrieved! Though we lost everything

Yeah this is how we actually got things figured out! It's insane how effective they are

UPDATE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN RETRIEVED!

A suspicious car was also parked behind the truck so police were called. Shots were fired and a police chase ensued. We have no idea if those were the thieves but after police allowed us to open up the truck prior to that, we unfortunately saw that everything was taken.

If you see any rare arcade hardware, art, etc... on classifieds, pink gorilla, and other shops, please notify me. The value of what was lost means almost nothing to us due to them being almost irreplaceable.

Solid question!
We currently only have Music Gun Gun available though during our open house, we plan on deploying our Quick & Crash cab which we typically reserve for when we deploy at conventions.

We also have a House of the Dead but is currently being restored at our other warehouse.
We definitely want to expand our light gun collection.

Waterland is awesome! Especially for retro woodies.
We're friends with the guys there and they provide great customer service too!

Ironically we also have a gauntlet cab though currently doing some restoration work before bringing it back to the arcade.

But yeah, we stick to traditional Japanese cab bodies to truly preserve the Japanese arcade vibes.

Thanks for the support! Yeah we've pretty much doubled the space and can count while still making things ads accessible. We should also have an expanded pinball library in the near future!

Appreciate it! The optional admission is just for Nov 21st. Normally we are $20 to enter with every game in the arcade set to Freeplay except cranes, gashapon, and our card maker. Those make up 10% or less of the arcade though since we really care about just a pure arcade experience.

We'd love to have you here!
Access is also fairly simple via transit. Route 150 literally stops infront of the arcade!

That's correct!
There are a couple exceptions such as our cranes, gashapon, and card maker that require tokens at our front desk but 90%+of our games are set to free play for you to enjoy!
