Love coming here with the kids. Cheap on Wednesdays. Tons of memories and great games. A valuable part of the community. Since we live near there, we go there fairly often, and it has never disappointed us. Staff are friendly, and games change occasionally. Kids love it so much my oldest daughter took her friend there and she had a blast. Great for family.
Local gem. My husband and I have gone on date nights, with our kids, with our kids and their friends ... it's awesome for everyone. Good deal on pricing - there's no way you wouldn't go through roll after roll of quarters if you were at a conventional arcade. They swap games out routinely so there's always variety. We live close and love walking to it after dinner on Park street. Great way to spend an evening or afternoon.
Very unique old school video arcade located in Alameda's busiest commercial district. Pay for unlimited plays for a certain amount of time.
Decent selection of games range from the oldies like centipede and Pac-Man and Tron up to somewhere more modern racing and fighting games.
Not enough space for the big crowd-pleasing games that you would find at Santa Cruz boardwalk, for example. They have a few cabinets with dozens of games you can select from on ROMs.
It is small and has a couple of seats and a bathroom in the back. Parking is difficult on park street, but you can easily find parking for pay or free a few blocks down.
This place was like home when I lived in the Bay Area. I would be at both the Downtown Hayward location and the Park st Alameda location. The staff is very friendly and usually knowledgeable about the games. Shot out to the boy Johnathan and the rest of the staff and the owners for being down to earth and friendly.
