The selection of games here is way above and beyond what I expected. They have some incredibly rare and significant games in great working condition. Do yourself a favor and stop in to play some of the hardest to find games in the country. This isn't really the place if you are looking for run of the mill games, but if you want something unique you MUST go here! The highlights of their collection in terms of rarity: - ???????? (Super Table Flipper aka Table Flipper Simulator) ((one of only 10 in America!)
My little ones love this place! There are so many fun games for all ages, and the staff are consistently friendly and super nice with kids. It's one of our favorite go-to spots for a fun family outing. Highly recommend!
Very chill nostalgic arcade; you don't see mall arcades like this anymore! Lots of Japanese music games here as well, including jubeat, Pop'n Music, and ReRave which can't be found at other Japan-centric arcades. Definitely recommend checking the place out!
Brought the family here and was so excited to have a retro arcade experience. DDR, air hockey, PAC Man, claw machines where you can actually get the stuffed animals. All three of my children left with prizes and my husband was happy with the basketball game. The customer service was awesome, definitely will be returning.??
I'm take-it-or-leave-it with arcades in general, but I will go out of my way to come here again. I've never seen a more diverse selection of arcade games, and staff was super attentive. Also the only arcade I've been to that not only had multiple DDR kiosks to play on (most places only have one or two that are consistently always in use, so you never actually get much chance to play), but they all also worked LOL. Already trying to figure out when I can come back.
Starrcade has an excellent collection, got a lot of games I can barely find at other arcades let alone in working order, would prob put it in the top 3 of the entire Atlanta metro area,check it out
First time I've ever been here, super unique games and the workers were very helpful to me and my friends! I will totally be back soon.
Starcade is our absolute favorite arcade. Good selection of games, good prizes, and easy to play what you want, when you want to. The manager is also super nice and checks on everything! We love it!
AMAZING selection of games! Some very neat and unique finds, and a wonderful selection of rhythm games. I love to stop by when I'm in ATL. Staff are cool and friendly people. They actually care about keeping arcades alive. 10/10
This place is a retirement home for some of the most under appreciated arcade games of all time. They have some games that are known to have fewer than five existing machines, and they're just here, ready to be played rather than stored away to never be loved. If you care about arcade games, especially that wacky early 3D era into the mid-2000s, this is the place to be.
Amazing place, would say though that those 2 clawed claw machines feel a bit rigged and would suggest to use claw machines with 3 or 4 claws on the claw instead.
Great mix of games and knowledgeable staff. So glad seeing an arcade at Town Center again!
Really fun arcade with lots of variety of choices & claw machines that actually work! We went as a family & everyone & all of us had a blast! (Various ages from 11 - 46)
Great place. Awesome arcades including pinball for every age. Especially for those looking to reminisce. Staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. A few machines were down but staff took care of it immediately and replenished credits lost.
So fun and affordable! Excellent arcade experience! Retro with diverse assortment of games.
Incredible place! Me and my friends try to go every week, best place in Georgia for people wanting to play rhythm games or just have fun, prices are really good but they also do discount days! Staff here are super helpful, nice and down to chat about the games. I haven't learned the other staffs names but Shane and Mike rule !!
Great variety of games, friendly staff. My family has great time every time we come!
This is an amazing fun place to go to!! Me and my family have been here a few times and it's never a disappointment.
Me and my girlfriend had an amazing experience. It was super fun for the both of us. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
One of the coziest arcades I've ever been to in my entire life with one of the finest selection of fun games ever.
We had a wonderful time at Starrcade this afternoon! The staff was extremely friendly & considerate - a kind worker noticed my 9 year old daughter had trouble reaching a certain game and brought out a step stool to assist her as well as providing her with an extra play since she had struggled. So thoughtful! We'll definitely be back again - Thanks for a lovely experience!
Gambling has never been so rewarding. Love the arcade games lineup. 10/10 IGN
this place really surprised me, definitely not a normal mall arcade, had a lot of unique japanese games i?ve never seen before. and also had a game card system that i really liked and was more convenient than coins and tickets
This is a great arcade! You can tell a lot of effort went into curating a great selection of titles here. They have a lot of imported machines that are worth checking out if you're a passionate arcade-goer. Dancing games as well if you like getting a workout! Some audio issues on some machines that I noticed when I went, but everything that was on played great. Definitely stop in if you're at the mall!
Had a great time playing some old and rare games.
The employees were all amazing and helpful! I ended up spending most of my credits on the claw machine, but was happy with my haul! A little hole in the wall, but totally worth it.
Super fun and magical place :) The general manager was also super nice! Definitely recommend stopping by
Cool n fun games and welcoming staff. Could get lost in here for hours !
This place was super awesome. They have a huge variety of games, especially imported stuff from Japan that you can't get here. They had that one table flip game that's super fun but kind of obscure and hard to find. Great place, great dude working there, 10/10 100/100
Good variety of games and the staff were friendly.
Great selection of Rhythm games an if you use Bandai or NESICA cards on them as well.. Great fighting game selection only problem I had was the Marvel vs capcom 2 machine button layout was all wrong. Staff was kinda awkward. Guess they were just surprised to see 34 yr old black man be good at Rhythm games. Will be back! But staff should try to be more welcoming an not watch over people thinking I'm going break a machine. Fix marvel 2 buttons please or just put it on different cab.
Ivan made our experience incredibly entertaining! My friend's and I love this spot but because of him we will definitely be back
We brought my BIL here for his birthday. My 1 year old tagged along & everyone loved it.
Great place?all the games from the past & current! Plus they add new games often. Nice staff and clean. Totally wholesome fun for family or video enthusiasts! Highly recommended!
It was so great! Had a lot of fun with my brothers! Skeball on top!
First time visiting the arcade! I gotta say, as a 35 yr old that grew up with more than half the games in there, it was a blast from the past. Let's keep this place open as long as possible so the younger generations can live our childhoods! 5/5
This place is awesome. Great mix of vintage arcade classics that I grew up on, some Japanese games, and some familiar games with a little twist (3D racing and an interactive air hockey table, just to name a few). Great value and fun for all ages!
This is a really cool arcade! Lots of fun just a nice place to stop by and play some awesome retro games 100% recommend for some nice fun!
Sick quirky collection of retro games with unparalleled customer service. 10/10 will do again.
SO MUCH FUN!! We became instant regulars when we first came. So much variety in the games! The claw machines aren't rigged, and it's so easy to reload your cards. I don't think it's possible not to enjoy your time here. Friendly staff too as the cherry on top
?An arcade like no other? walking into Starrcade is like reliving your childhood with the ability to pass it on to your children as well. You can tell that much care was taken to handpick rare and interesting/vintage games to bring this one of a kind arcade to fruition. I would highly recommend this to your friends and family, I'm sure you'll have as much as a blast as I did! Five stars!
Varied selection and great atmosphere. Just wish they had a few more shmup/bullethell cabinets.
Amazing arcade that always has new games every time I go!! They have amazingly fun rhythm games that have old school anime and j pop songs :)
awesome spot, tons of variety between all the different machines, and they're all in really nice working condition. super reasonable machine token prices, although a play by hour option would be cool! love the japanese imports as well, really neat stuff all around. check this place out!
By far the best arcade in the area around KSU. Lots of retro stuff, lots of Japanese Music Game stuff.
Ever since they added this arcade to the mall I have had a great new place to hang out and has been absolutely positive for my mental health. I love Japanese rhythm games and they have a plethora of them and I could not be more happier! I hope this arcade stays around for a long time !!!!
A truly impressive collection of extremely rare and important games. Check out the table flipping game. It's glorious.
I went in there on a whim. I did not know arcades like this existed anymore. For a fighting cabinet fan, this is a dream. They had MVC2!!!!! I have not seen one of these in years. They had a lot of vintage competitive games. I spoke to the owners about the place, they were very nice and asked for input on what other fighting games should be in there. I can't show this place enough love. Just for MVC2 I will be in there on a weekly basis and the fighting game community needs to show this place love. I hope t
Fantastic arcade. A great mix of old,new, and import arcade games. Love the vibe and ambience of the place. Great place for all types to go for a mall arcade experience. Will definitely go everytime i visit town center. Recommend anybody to stop by. The are downstairs next to the Belk.
Had a blast !! Galileo is the ONLY reason I come here I brought my friends ONLY because I knew he'd be here today !!!
I love coming here best arcade in ga!
We love Starrcade!! Credits were easy to purchase and spend, all machines clean and pristinely cared for, the selection was top notch. Showed up for the rare Castlevania game, stayed for the psychedelically mind-expanding rhythm games. Five star experience from beginning to end, can't wait to come back.
This place is really awesome and brought back a lot of good memories and 80s nostalgia. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back.
Had a blast, good prices and friendly staff!
Excellent arcade game selection and friendly staff! A must visit for anyone that likes rhythm games.
Super grateful for the staff who helped make my kids birthday a good one! Y?all rock!
Shane's crew runs a tight ship. This is the kind of arcade where you really can hang around for hours, with lots of games you don't see everywhere. Give the Magical Drop 2 and Castlevania light gun machines some love! The modern rhythm games that are still receiving updates (Theatrhythm, Groove Coaster 4MAX) are connected to the internet, so you can make progress on your saves. This crew brings a deep passion for arcade games old & new to their work and it absolutely shows. Please give them a try if you'r
Fantastic arcade. As a fan of Japanese rhythm games, I was super excited by their selection. They have Pop N' Music, Beatmania, Wacca, Chunithym, and several others. Would love to see a SOUND VOLTEX machine here in the future!
A fantastic little hole in the wall filled to the brim with old favorites and new discoveries. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the prices are plenty fair, and the atmosphere's the right mix of nostalgic and easy going.
I thought this place was pretty new..place was alright. Some games were out of order, and others' machines felt/looked overused and not anchored properly. May return in the future.
I love coming here!! Their prices are very good and the weekday deals keep me coming back to play their awesome selection of games!
For those who know what an arcade is supposed to be like, this is the spot. They got your favorites like Rampage, MK2, Blitz, and so many more. But they also have Japanese amine games and games for kids. A true arcade experience!
Lots of fun! Cool unique games
Worst arcade I've earlier been to the worker was more worried about playing games then helping customers stood at the counter for 15 minutes waiting so we just left. We will never go back.
Fantastic place to go to completely worth the travel time. They have Gauntlet Legends, Blitz and a wide variety of other arcade games. Fun place. People should go.
Such a cool place! My niece and I came here and had alot of fun! Its so refreshing to see arcades come back! Will be back
Great arcade with some extremely rare games. One of the only arcades in the country with Castlevania: The Arcade game. Would recommend.

Best arcade in Georgia. They have a great selection of games for a fair price
Great old school arcade but with tap to pay cards to make it convenient. Good prices too.

Super cool arcade with lots of games you don't normally see.
a great experience for the whole family, had really cool vintage games.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Yes, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Yes, rhythm games in arcades are a vibrant hit in 2025! Titles like Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania deliver high-energy fun, blending music, movement, and precision. Modern machines boast vivid displays, booming sound systems, and diverse song libraries, from J-pop to EDM. They challenge reflexes and rhythm, with competitive leaderboards and tournaments fostering a lively community. Arcade dance floors are regularly packed, proving rhythm games’ immersive, physical thrill keeps them a standout in today’s gaming scene.
