โ€œThe place was pretty busy so I didn't take too many pictures inside the arcade, but I did want to make sure to get photos of a few machines. The one on the left was a short Space Invaders cabinet that I've never had the opportunity to play until today. [...] This wasn't the only game that had issues. The second player gun in Revolution X and a few other games that we came across didn't work, the Tapper cabinet was extremely glitchy [...] and the Gorf machine didn't work at all. In a way, this is a pretty authentic retro arcade experience because I remember that there were machines that were out-of-order or with controllers that were less than fully functional at pretty much every arcade that I've played at throughout the 80's and 90's, but it was still a bummer.โ€

โ€œI knew that I was really going to like this arcade immediately, when I walked in on a blazing hot December day, it was dark and well ventilated with fans and tinted windows. Siouxsie and the Banshees Happy House was playing on the stereo! In fact, the music selection was amazing the whole time I was there, it was all good songs from the 70s/80s. They had the whole arcade done up with Christmas lights for the holidays. The atmosphere of this arcade cannot be oversold, it was incredibly comforting to be there and enjoy some arcade goodness, I'm sure it is even nicer at night.โ€
