Customer Reviews

An absolute gem, especially when it's pouring rain during spring break! We were looking for something fun to do indoors, and this place totally delivered. From classic arcade games to newer titles, there's something for everyone ? teens and adults alike. I loved that they also had great food and a nice selection of sodas, making it the perfect spot to kick back and have some fun. The atmosphere was lively and nostalgic, with just the right mix of retro and modern. If you're stuck indoors because of the we

Stopped in as we were spending spring break on the coast for our twin boys birthday and it's become a yearly family trip coming to the Oregon Coast. Anyways we were looking for time to kill before checking into our AirBnb so we decided to go to this arcade, the cool thing is they have tons of pinball machines and some old school arcade games like Donkey Kong, Galaga, Burgertime, Ms Pac-Man, Centipede etc. they have lots of games for kids and it's not over priced like some arcades, they also serve food with

Good place to take the kids! Didn't have to wait for games too long. Good selections of games, although more pinball tables than others. Some pinball tables are unique classics. Try the Jaws one! Parking is very tight! Beware. But otherwise good place to visit.

We are local and over the years this place has always been on the to do. It's clean and affordable. There is a very chill woman who runs the counter typically on the weekends, we love her atmosphere and customer service. I'd love to see more drink variety, but they are connected to a local pizzeria that makes an excellent combo ??????, date night, visiting, local, a special occasion, it's great for all in Lincoln city

The games are overpriced and hardly give any tickets.. . . $2.50 for a soda no refills. As you can see from the responses of the owner ( Who also own Adventure Park down the street; apparently they like Monopoly) they really value customer concerns. They make their money and that's enough for them. If you're visiting, just take your kids to Regatta Park. It's beautiful, and you can save a few bucks for the same amount of fun ??

Spent $45 in 20 minutes at the overpriced casino arcade, and so I took the kids to Game Over afterwards and we played for 1.5 hours on $25. Your mileage may vary. Great assortment of new and old games. The retro ones were in great shape, virtually everything was in order. Do it!

My wife and I came here in June for her birthday from out of town. We put 30$ on a game card and once we received the card, all the machines shut down and we were unable to play. Came back in October hoping to use our money we put in the card, and there was nothing. Asked the lady working the bar/register about the card and it's amount. By the way she was really rude. She said that there was only 10$ ever loaded on there and it was for 1 hour play time only for the day it was purchased. Long story short w

We stumbled upon this place after having pizza next door. Such a cool little spot! I love pinball so I had a ton of fun! The hubby and teenagers also enjoyed themselves. Had a solid 2 hours of fun!

Really fun! And the amount of arcade and pinball games was very impressive! I wish we could have spent a little more time but we will be back! I will say I was a little disappointed that a few of the ?ticket? games we really wanted to place were ?out of order? and only on of the head sets for the VR King Kong was working so my kiddo and I could not ride it together.

Great place for kids to play games, there's some adult beverages too

Extremely fun with the grandson!! Old school mixed with new gen gives it a multi genre feel and something for everyone to enjoy. Definitely coming back to rack up these tickets with gson! Blessed be

Um, this is a hidden gem. The games are affordable, the pinball selection was incredible, and parking was easy for us the night we came. I highly recommend. The prize situation is kind of a mess, but since my kids spent most of their time playing pinball, we didn't care.

This arcade was pretty awesome. And the deal they have on Monday for unlimited play for an hour for 10$ was great! Though that does exclude a few things. Great staff and awesome atmosphere. We loved it!

I'm what I'd like to call an arcade enthusiast and while this had a couple good games, I was disappointed that after spending over $80 on games we only had less than 3000 tickets. At other arcades we spent far less on the same games and won more tickets. Also was not impressed with the prize options.

Pretty good spot. Lots of cool retro games. Lot of pinball. A little pricey, but that's just cause I'm stingy. 20 bucks gets you 200 points, 5 points per play of Galaga or other older games, 10 for newer games. Cool spot though.

The place was very well decorated. The owner was super friendly and the customer service was stellar! Good prices on everything. My girlfriend and I played for hours. She wishes she could beat me at Mario Cart but she can't hang with my mad skills! I would recommend this place to anyone.

This place is a lot of fun for kids and adults. They have many of the classic arcade games that older persons will remember, as well as newer games which allow people to play side-by-side and competitively. They have a decent selection of adult beverages, however no mixed drinks. The staff are a little slow and maybe a bit understaffed. They have typical bar and bowling alley food like chicken tenders and fries, And it's all a bit pricey. But, if you ever have a problem with any one of the games or machines

This place is fun, lots and lots of pinball machines, and lots of arcade games to keep the kids occupied for a while. The food is ordered out, pizza, unless you want deep-fried. Beers and soda for the kids, party friendly. Lots of kids, friendly employees, and clean bathrooms.

We enjoyed this arcade! My husband loved some of the school games from his childhood. Our three kids also enjoyed it. We stayed for about an hour and a half. We came on a Saturday right as they opened. It was very clean, sanitizer on site, the bathrooms were clean as well. We ordered a few beers while the kids played. I'd definitely recommend coming whether you have kids or not. They have a pretty decent menu as well.

The owner has spared no expense on his pinball collection. Almost every single game is a Limited Edition and has all Stern Factory Toppers. You won't find a collection like this on route anywhere else.

The place is awesome as long as you don't have to deal with their employees; my kids loved it & my husband & I felt like little kids with some of the games we used to play growing up; the owner needs to find people who can deal with customers & are willing to help

Oh man! When my wife and I walked in it was Game On! This place is so neat, and what's the word...RETRO! So many arcade games to play. It really took me back to my child hood because I remember playing a lot of these games on my Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo game systems. My wife let me really nerd out for about an hour-I love you Kala??! I really love the layout of the arcade in how techno it looked especially with the awesome lighting! It was tubular dude! The food was pretty delicious as wel

Great arcade - this one is done right - with games and something for everyone. Walls have huge Star Wars murals painted in glow paint, there's a family friendly bar, the most pinball games I've ever seen in one place and lots of legacy arcade games from Tron, to Pac-Man, and my old favorite Defender. Highly recommended, family friendly, and well managed.

Super fun arcade! Very clean, friendly staff, lots of game choices. They have a lot of vintage games and newer ones. Lots of pin ball machines. They also have a bar and food in the back. Easy to pay at each game, no coins to mess with.

Super fun arcade! We are visiting from Utah and stopped by here on Monday. We picked up a $10 for 1 hour unlimited play (Monday only I think) and it was so much fun!! They have lots of fun drinks and quite a selection of pinball machines, arcade games, and tons more! You can even load your game card to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay Wallet and use your phone! Overall the games were all really fun and in great condition. Everything felt pretty high tech and well taken care of. The unlimited play is so much

Bartender was super nice. Drinks were great. We also had a pretzel, corn dog, and fries; all made when we ordered and super hot and fresh. We were heading out of town and noticed this place. Happy we stopped to check it out. Will go back when in the area again.

Amazing place to take the whole family. My son is on spectrum and really appreciates the older 80's and 90's games. Really fun cool place!

This place was loads of fun! The staff were friendly and helpful, we didn't eat, but a couple who ordered a pizza were eating and it looked delish! 10/10

The arcade was very clean and everything looked updated. The bartender was super nice and give expedient service. There's many old-school games that I love to play in the prices are fair. I had a good time and will definitely go back!

My husband and I stopped in here so he could do some nerding out and I just thought it was the coolest place. It brought back alot of the memories of growing up in the 90s and going to the arcade. I would so recommend if your a gamer or want a fun family night. The food was pretty good too. My husband just loved it so I know the next time we're in Lincoln city we will be going back.

Very knowledgeable about what is going on and very hospitality. They all r very well trained in their jobs. And they go out of their way to help with whatever comes up. I would recommend it for all the families enjoyment. Stop by and enjoy yourself with ur hole family.

I was at the Oregon coast for a week on vacation but I spent a few hours at this arcade and had a great time! We don't really have an arcade where I live so I got to play a lot of new games as well as some great classics which I haven't played in a long time. The staff were also very nice and they have good food. I would definitely recommend this arcade if you enjoy video games and even if you don't.

We had so much fun and it wasn't that expensive.

What a great place to enjoy some pinball and arcade games. Also has carnival style games, skeeball, knock down the clowns, basket ball shots all for tickets for prizes..

It's very reasonably priced for the arcade games! Awesome variety! Kids had a great time!!

Super great time here they had hundreds of games it was a great time with the family if you bring 20 bucks you will be set for about an hr of fun my

Every time we come to Lincoln City, we always go here. This is the best video arcade in Lincoln City and it is fun! The service is amazing and the workers seem to actually care about the customers. I would 100% reccomend people to go here.

Anytime I can find pinball machines I'll stop for a while. I'm always surprised that they are still making new machines. This was a fun stop, pinball, retro Arcade games, and new stuff for kids to win prizes (like chuck-e-chesse). They even serve beer. It was a little warm inside the building, unusually warm in Lincoln City.

Solid arcade. If you like arcade games and Pinball this is an awesome place.

Great place! Awesome service, and so nice you can order really good pizza and have it delivered from next door.

Awesome Game Room with a Ton of games. Pinball heaven. Back again for more Pinball and Arcade Action!

Been coming here for years and enjoy the place. Game selection isn't the best, but it's ok. Pizza is amazing, but I'm mixed about their new card system. On one hand I don't have to worry about machines taking my money, but on the other hand it now costs a lot more. Even a basic arcade game from the 80s is 8 credits which works out to 80 cents. This is over 3 times more expensive than is used to be. Only upside is it does make some newer games slightly less expensive.

This place is a fun time. Lots of pinball machines and old school arcade games like asteroids and Mr. Pac-Man. There is a restaurant in the back that serves beer and some basic eats. When it gets too dark to play on the beach and you're still looking for something to do, head over to this place and drop a few quarters.

I often do not like to write bad reviews on small establishments. However, this arcade was hot inside (no AC at all) and too expensive to play. When my wife and I went to order drinks, the bar tender saw us and didn't even acknowledge us as she walked away to go to the back. She took a couple of minutes to come back outside to get our orders, but with a noticeable attitude. Their bar has limited options of beer on tap. They had local beers, which is good; however, the bar tender was rude and would not speak

Fun; easy to spend too much. ?? the VR Godzilla was super fun and my kids loved it.

Super fun and cool cheap too. 25 cent games.

I do love this place when I am here with my daughter. 30 bucks if you're careful can last for over an hour or less than 20 minutes. Some of the premium games cost a premium penny and you can wait quite some time to play those games during the busy hours. The beer selection is OK for a bar but awesome for an arcade. Nice mix of classics along with the new. My biggest hold up is the price of pinball. Most of the pinball games run between 12 and 15 credits which is higher than places like this even on the coas

This place is always a good time and very clean and put together great place to take the kids on the coast best pinball games!

Has some cool arcade games but way too pricey. You'll go through $30 in 5 min. No admission, so you can at least just take a kid in for a single game they really love, like the VR Godzilla. It's $7 per person per game but I'd say is the only thing I saw worth the $. Can't speak to the food or beer as I didn't have any. Relaxed atmosphere.

Great arcade! Loved that they had a mix of classics and modern games...and their pinball selection is amazing! As a classic game lover I was thrilled that they had frogger, joust, tron, and more! They had some cool arcades I'd never even seen before. 11/10 highly recommend!

The prices are inordinately high in my experience. It wasn't until after I bought $10 dollars worth of credits (which actually costs $12, by the way) that I was informed every pinball machine was $1.30 per play. When I found out I wouldn't even get 10 plays, I asked for my money back and they refused. Very disappointed, especially because I don't have much money to go out and give myself a rare treat like visit an arcade. With no other choice, I used the credits I had purchased; it was gone within half an h

Why to much grease on the tots ??. I asked the guy to switch my order to Chicken strips but was told I was to late after 1min of ordering my food. Guys bathroom was clean ??. Games ??. Younger guy was not nice and did not ask if we needed something but the older guy was. Overall I think not bad but not good.

Loved it! My teen was in heaven! The only issue I had was the customer service was almost a zero. Go in prepared with cash money for change. Ask no questions. Just play! But the amount of games made up for it!!! Games were priced great! Some super cheap like a .25 and others 1.00 ! Fun Fun Fun

We love pinball and they must have the best machines I've ever played on- very clean facilities! A really fun time.

amazing pinball collection. every table is a limited edition and in fantastic working order. spoiled to have a place like this anywhere close. also a great selection of new and retro arcade games. lots of old and new favorites. thanks for the great pinball!

30 bucks really does last a long time playing regular games. The full immersive VR games cost a lot but they are super fun

Fun place for all ages good price as well adult beverages and games can't go wrong.

Game Over is one of our favorite places to go in Lincoln City!! So many pinball machines!! They also have a lot of old school video games! Your usual games, too: Skeeball, basketball, Mario Kart, air hockey, etc. They have a fun new Karaoke machine and a comic book photo booth!! So fun! They serve food, beer and drinks, but you can also have food delivered there. Seating areas available. It's great whether you bring kids or not! We've done both!

So much fun, very clean & great atmosphere!

Fantastic arcade! Top notch! Nearly no games down. One of my favorite games, (Discs of Tron) was having ghosting issues when I was in a month ago. It had a new monitor and was working great this time! Someone CARES for these machines. There are FANTASTIC 80s Easter eggs all around the place, good bar food, games on the TVs and beer! The pinball tables are the best I've seen anywhere. Almost every one of them is a Limited Edition and brand new with all of the secondary screens, dioramas, mini tables,

The pinball is great and me and my friends have a lot of fun on the Mario Kart booths But I couldn't really hear the karaoke song

Service at the bar was excellent. Staff is very pleasant and approachable. Sadly, many of the arcade games don't work properly. Mario kart duo game was missing a brake pedal and seat didn't lock in. Other arcade game buttons and joysticks need some attention, which made some games unplayable and waste of time/money. We had fun though.

We always visit this spot when we escape Portland for the weekend. Excellent pinball tables and good variety. Chris and Jen (owners) are a delight. They are always happy to talk shop. They care about the upkeep of their machines and it shows.

Super fun arcade with lots of classics but the games can be quite pricy

Great food. This 100oz Beer of Angry Orchards was great, I believe it was like $27 or $32. Perfect for a couple to get drunk off of. We played and bet the Jurassic Park game. We game in with a $10 roll of quarters, plus used some that was on us. We spent maybe $100 bucks here but it was great. Customers service could have been better tho.

Lots of fun. A lot better then the arcade at the outlet mall

This was definitely a great place to stop have a beer and play a bunch of pinball everything was very fairly priced had a great time spent about an hour here definitely recommend stopping by if this is your thing. There were also lots of other classic arcade games and there were some skill games there is well Fun place for adults and kidd.

Really fun day for my family! We love video games and we visit the coast once a year. This was a first visit for us, but won't likely be our last. The games are great, and there is a small bar for beer and wine. They do snacks, and pizza from galuccis next door, which is also very tasty. I would say it's worth a visit! Everyone in my family got $50 worth of credits on their game cards, and we spent about 4 hours there, to give you an idea of the price. 2 rows of pinball machines, lots of old school games, a

Nice staff. Clean facility. Lots of sanitizer available. Great selection of pinball machines. Classics and new games. Great for all ages. Limited parking during busy periods.

Grandkids had a blast. We actually enjoyed the pizza for a change.

Family friendly and so many awesome old arcade games as well as new ones and food is good a little bit spendy but fresh and hit full service drinks and beer as well as a photo booth and ?nd lot of pinball machines

From old favorites to new high tech...with food and drink for all ages, there is something here for everyone. A fun little pit stop.

So fun, will visit again whenever I'm in town

Good beer and game selection but felt the family and I were deceived about Monday prices. Asked for a $20, 2 hour play card and a $20 token card but was given 2 of the $20 token cards that lasted right around 30 minutes. Talked to the gentlemen behind the counter and got nowhere. Will continue to go elsewhere.

Wow! So many choices of games. Pinball section is outstanding. Beer available for adults. Our Daughter is in Gaming Heaven. Back again... This Arcade is Awesome

Some great classics from the 80s and plenty of modern games as well. Would be great to extent the classic offering a bit - Centipede, Tempest, Pole Position, Galaga to name a few. The modern version of Space Invaders is a blast!!

Older lady is rude and clearly hates her job. Spent over 100 dollars at this place and she was quick to get us out by saying ?we are closed? several times as me and my children were trying to Finish our game. Not Friendly at all and the owner should take notice on hiring employees that don't pride in helping customers yet alone being friendly and personable. Very disappointed in how the arcade is being ran. Years ago, it was such a family friendly environment and ALL employees were friendly and inviting. No

Smaller selection but Beer prices are great! No hard alcohol. I had only been to adult barcades so I was surprised when there were tons of children running around late on a Saturday night. You have to put money on a card to play games. They have a phone app but you have to put the card you load at the counter on the app. Overly complicated compared to coin or just loading money to an app directly.

Games were from a variety of decades and all working. No AC made it a sweaty summer experience, but it was a lot of fun- but my 90's kid self still feels like every arcade is so.much.money, but Game Over is pretty average for modern arcades. Will visit again.

It's a fun novelty and flashback to your childhood, but this ain't no Chuckee Cheese nor is it a traditional arcade! They do serve food and even beer, but the prices are unreasonable. There are no more quarter or even $1.00 games to be played. You'll have to purchase a game card that works much like a credit card. The cheapest games will run you around $3.00 per play and it only goes up from there. If you don't have at least $60 to $100 dollars to burn, it can be a very short and disappointing experi

Great pinball tables! Good selection of games affordable and you can't have a drink. Family friendly, great owner and his dad is adorable! ???

Fun atmosphere. Loved that you can play games and have a few beers. I felt like I was a teenager again!!

I love it there so much! Such a great place. Will ALWAYS come here.

This place brought some old memories when I was young handsome and stupit lol

It's was a great little place! They have new and old school games, I didn't try the food or the drinks, purely gaming. When I was there, there was hardly any parking(but still found a spot). It was loud, there was music, of course, the gaming noises, and the people. Gaming pricing wasn't bad, unless you plan on playing the popular games, it gets expensive fast.

Came from out of town, my son really had fun. First time playing games at an arcade for him. Great atmosphere ??

Really fun arcade with a lot of different games. To play, you buy a card ($2) and load it with points. We spent $32 for 2 people and played for probably close to an hour. I absolutely loved all the options of pinball machines. Will definitely be back.

Place is awesome. All games are high quality. Food is great and the general atmosphere is really laid back. Will be going back

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.”
