I took my husband and we had so much fun reliving our childhood!! Were in our mid thirties and we had an absolute blast! They have arcade games, TVs set up with different consoles and hundreds of games to choose from! The host, Tony, was helpful, kind, and informative. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!!!

I so love this place! Unlimited gaming for one really cheap price! I spend at least 2hrs here every week playing until my fingers hurt, my shoulders hurt and my eyes are bugging! Highly recommended!

My four-year-old kid loves this place. Its a great way to keep yourself occupied when the weather is cruddy. The games rotate in and out periodically so there might be some new stuff each time you visit. Pay once and play all the games all day.

This place is AWESOME!!! Every vintage arcade game u can think of, and its really cheap for the whole family....you pay per person, for the whole day....not per game. Really awesome for kids and adults....groupon has an awesome deal for here as well....my kids love fort night, and this is the only arcade Ive found that has it for the kids. They also have all the vintage video gaming systems, which you can play, and/or purchase the systems, as well as any older video game you can think of.....and they have some unique snacks as well. My family and I will definitely be back....being open that late on the weekends too, is a plus...you can literally get lost playing all the games all night...and you can even leave for dinner, and come back to play since u pay per person, per day....everything was clean, and VERY well maintained.....WAY AWESOME!!!! I will be referring everyone I know here!

Small place with lots of retro games. Definitely good fun for your inner 80s, 90s child and your actual child. Also has drinks and snacks available. Would describe it as a dive arcade.

Brought my nephew and a few of his friend here for his birthday. They had a blast. The place is a bit dingy but what good arcade isn’t. Not a huge selection of cabinets but just enough for a full afternoon of entertainment. Couldn’t beat the price either.

I love this place! The staff was very helpful, and the games were a lot of fun! Its hard to find places that have the older arcade games, but this one has a lot of them! As well as having retro games, you could play on more modern consoles on whatever game you wanted. They had some light snacks and drinks available to purchase as well, quite nice!

Super fun place, very reasonable price ($5 srudents) for unlimited play, and my son had a super fun birthday party here. Great management, and everything here is for sale too, even the old school arcade games!! Because of this, they get new games, so its not just the same games each time.

Really nice local 80s themed arcade. Kid and adult friendly, with tons of options for a reasonable price.

Review №21

This nondescript arcade is a fantastic spot for all ages. There are modern gaming stations and a slew of classic arcade games like Qbert, Mario, Xmen, and a whole bunch of other games Im not cool enough to remember or know how to play. That flat admission fee is more than reasonable and you can leave and come back.

Review №24

This is cute little arcade thats great for families. They dont blast their music too loudly. Its not super big, but they have a nice selection of cabinet games. The guys running the place are incredibly kind and really helpful, and they really work to make your experience enjoyable. If you have kiddos with special needs this would be a great place to take them, as its not too overwhelming. They have a great candy and snack selection thats really greatly priced too!

Review №37

I like that you pay an admission and then its just free play after that. My son thinks this place is Heaven on earth! They do private party renting of the place, snacks, food, candy. You can buy gaming materials here as well as sell your old stuff! Im stoked, I come all the way from Englewood to chill here, and its so worth it! Thanks Channel 3 Retro Gaming!

Fun retro arcade! Tons of nostalgic games. Any system youd like to play, they might have on hand. Wanna buy something? Most anything in there is for sale. Owners are super chill as well. I appreciate being able to bring my kids in for games, and not be surrounded by a ton of drunk Chad bros like at 1up. Although i wouldnt be opposed to them hosting an adult night.

Review №43

This is the best arcade in town. You cannot beat the price or the sheer variety of games - both vintage arcade and the classic video games. There is a true retro vibe that makes for a real good time. Highly recommend going to Channel 3.

This place is Paradise for gamers of all ages and all platforms. Wether you like coming in and dishing out some fatalities on mortal Kombat, or jump over some barrels with donkey Kong, or play the newer console games, this is your One-Stop shop.Extremely friendly staff across the board. Very personable and willing to talk about the games with you. Across the whole team I believe they are extremely knowledgeable in possibly all gaming.Their deals are great, I definitely am now going to be a regular so I bought the month pass. And if you just plan on coming a few times a month the daily rate is a one-time pay to play all day.To sum it up: They have excellent games to play and for sale, they also repair, their staff is excellent, and the price is very fair. I very much believe you at least have to try this place once, I bet it will feel like it did when you first played them.

Great local neighborhood arcade. Console options are a strong draw with multiple systems and game choices. Great price for all day access. They have about 30 standup units with a good selection and responsive contrils. And best of all is the staff - they are super Kool - ask them for help and they are right there with you.

Review №59

We went in for a party and the people at channel 3 went above and beyond to make our time there perfect. They helped us order food, went and picked it up for us (what?!), and were very kind and helpful. Also, $7 for unlimited play? That is a screamin’ deal. Do yourself a favor and go play Galaga and Karate Champ to your hearts content while supporting a local business.

Good selection of working and playable classic arcade games as well as consoles with plenty of games to choose from. Friendly and attentive staff with a clean restroom.

Review №61

There are no negatives to coming here. You literally pay $5 (if you Groupon) to $7 to come and go as you please, and play unlimited classic games. There are also console and even a few board games. One of the two owners was working, and he was very accommodating, especially considering we had a 4 and 5 year old with us who were both high energy/high strung. The game selection seemed pretty widr for a small space. I will definitely be back again.
