Customer Reviews

Fun for all. My six year old loves all the retro games as well as the shooter games I grew up with. I can't help but chant... round two....fight! The air hockey is awesome but does cost coin as well as the deal or no deal and pool table. Great place for date night or to get your video games. The arcade is kept clean and well maintained. It is only $10 and you can play all day on the weekend!

My kids joy going and visiting Rick and his staff, but I swear my kids can talk for hours with him about certain games. But I do recommend going into the arcade on the weekends because the kids have a blast. And for anyone that grew up in my generation or before my generation, the reason why I recommend it is because there's a lot of old school games that he does have besides the newer ones that are somewhere at the malls or whatever and if you have children, you do get certain discounts on Video games with

This place is awesome! The owner is really cool and they have a full blown 1980s arcade you can play. The prices are really good too. You HAVE to check out the arcade!

It is missing some arcades that would attract even more people. But other than that. The place has a lot of games to buy and sell respectively. An arcade that's very solid. It is worth going there to have a good time!

Always getting new and rare retro games in stock, staff is super friendly and fun to talk to. The best local games store in Marshall county for sure.

Oh my goodness. I'm 66 years old and my friend took me here. I had a blast. And I'll be able to get my original Nentendo repaired. I'm already looking forward to coming back

Amazing ?? place for family and kids to have a fantastic time !! Staff was friendly and restroom was clean ?? 100% recommended hope to come back soon

Awesome place! My kids love going! We have a ps2 and we always come here to get games for it. My kids love the arcade and looking at the retro gaming equipment. Definitely a place to go for a throw back and a good time! Also I don't know if they still do it but they were always encouraging about kids school grades, we use to bring report cards up there and get discounts if they had good reports! Very awesome folks!

Seriously the best part of albertville they have all kinds of games aswell as an amazing arcade area. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about consoles and games . Aswell as there tech very knowledgeable and able to diagnose issues and fixes them?. You can tell they love there jobs.

This place isn't bad at all. If you're s gamer, you're a gamer. You will and should have a look around.

Staff is extremely knowledgeable and amiable. Offer fair trades for games and systems, and great deals on inventory. Customer service has been incredible. Completely transparent regarding products and procedures, and maybe my standards are low, but they even clean your disk before selling it to you (never been to a GameStop or similar establishment that did that. Very classy). My new go-to, I'll have to try the arcade sometime.

Apparently they do repairs on home gaming systems and they have an arcade, but it was closed when we were there.

I drive all the way from Huntsville AL to visit and purchase from this place. It's definitely my #1 stop for my Nintendo 64 addiction!

This place is outstanding! Come to Albertville and visit! From the local OG of the gaming community you owe it to yourself to visit this place? All you need to know is ARCADE!!!

This is a great old school arcade! They have many games in the back and mostly old school titles! $5 for an hour or $10 all day long per person! Give them a shot and support a small local business!

Great little place, if you're looking for vintage video games from Sega to Nintendo to Atari this is the place. Even have vintage consoles! As a bonus you can disappear in their arcade! Like a tardis, the arcade is bigger on the inside! With everything from Mrs Pac-Man to Daytona to Dig Dug you will find something to play here.

We've been to a couple of Birthday parties here and had a great time! It's a great value to play all of the games for one price. The kids have lots of fun and the parents do too!

Don't sell here. He'll talk for hours then give you nothing g fir what you're selling.

Staff was super friendly. And the store had a great variety of games, older and some modern. Also has a sweet arcade in the back. Definitely will be making a trip back

Very nice business I love the PS2 game selection they have a lot of the classics and oldies all the way back to Dreamcast and new games up to current, customer service is very nice and the disc cleaning machine is pretty effective and only cost like 4$ to use per game

The people here are so nice and make you feel like family the games are great priced the owner and one employee are super nice and help in anyway possible not to mention if you have an account and want something they will save it and when they get one they will call to let you know this is the best place to go ever!!!!!

Bought a console hdmi was broke and the power cable didn't fit properly went back got that solved and the controller I got had the worst stick drift then I get a cd go to play it and all kids of junk come out of it stuck on the disk I am so mad this is not the first time they have screwed me games are ok to buy here sometimes if they haven't been resurfaced to death but anything else do not but this store is a joke and I can't wait to see them go out of business for all the money wasted at this place DO NOT

Owner is a good guy I will always try to help you. Things are reasonably priced compared to other locations I've been to. Always getting new stock in so worth a stop to see if they have anything you would like

The owner is very friendly and takes the time to help his customers. The birthday party deal is awesome and kids have so much fun.

Great find! Fantastic selection of games for every gaming system you can imagine as well as accessories, awesome arcade room in the back and even better customer service!

Pretty cool place. It used to be a video store and tanning bed store when I was a kid. All the arcade classics are here ????

All place to take your little ones to kill some time

Great store with an arcade! I collect the older stuff and this store has plenty of Atari, Intellivision, and Colecovision. Staff were real friendly.

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.”
