Customer Reviews

I have purchased a 60-in-1 Arcade Cabinet and Valley Dartboard from Absolute and Lance has been amazing to work with. He's answered all of my questions - even about other pieces I have - and has been really helpful. The cabinets are great and the prices were very reasonable. Lance's support for his customers is top notch - he addressed an issue for me on New Year's Eve. I would definitely buy from Absolute Arcade again and strongly recommend them if you're in the market for arcade machines!

We purchased a Shelti dart board from Lance. It was in great shape and had been fixed up like it was brand new. Lance is very knowledgeable in all gaming and I feel very confident if we had any issues with our purchase, he would stand behind it. We would absolutely purchase from him again.

I purchased a Stern Elvis pinball machine from Lance- Absoltue arcade. He delivered it and set it up in our basement. We played it so much is 3 weeks one of the rubbers split. Called Lance, he came right over and replaced it and another one that was about to break, taught us how to make the repair and even left us a few spare rubbers, all at no charge. We love our Elvis pinball machine and Lance, we look forward to buying our next fun game from absolte arcade!

Great selection of all the favorites. Fast response time. Knowledgeable. Priced right. Customer service is high. Whether you are looking to outfit a game room or need a service call, he will absolutely take care of you.

Customer service is top notch. Used their service for a rental at a corporate event and they were awesome to work with. On time and even let us keep the games a little longer for no charge!

Wow, great service and great prices. I'm a customer for life

Horrible business. Avoid at all cost!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
