Customer Reviews

I was just googling arcade repair and this came up. Then it occurred to me that this is the guy I bought my Neo geo 1 slot arcade from a few years ago. After buying it and playing at his facility I got it home and it wouldn't work. The next day his tech came out and installed a new board, as the tech was leaving he dug out of his truck another Neo geo game and gave it to me. I paid next to nothing for this arcade. Super solid experience.

Gary is a pinball mechanic! He provided a customer service to me that is rarely seen in this world today. When all the others would say to me, it will be 6 months or we are just too busy right now, Gary made the time and did the job. I am very thankful for his knowledge and service, as he was able to fix all of the issues with the pinball machine in just a couple of hours. I would highly recommend this gentleman! Thank you again Gary.

My coffee table Ms PacMan machine started smoking so called Gary at Videotronix. He was super flexible about working around my schedule & showed up on time. He's been repairing machines for 40+ years so insanely knowledgeable & does not oversell you on something you don't need. He rebuilt the circuit board, replaced the motor fan within 24hrs. His pricing is very reasonable, he's a genuine person & I'd highly recommend his service to anyone.

Gary did a great job fixing my Hook Pinball Machine. It had a short on the Power Supply and he fixed it the same day. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Gary did a fantastic job with my 79 Kiss pinball..Would highly recommend him to anyone that has issues with their machines. Gary is very knowledgeable with these older machines.

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.”
