Jeremy's Downtown Arcade

I literally can not recommend this arcade highly enough. Definitely feels like an old dungeon-y arcade, buy what it lacks in shine or polish is COMPLETELY made up for by the insane variety of well maintained new and old (very rare!!) games. Unironically, this is probably one of less than 10 places in the WHOLE USA where you can play the large cabinet version of Densha de Go, in English?? That is straight up amazing. (For the probably uninformed reader, this is a game where you can drive over a dozen super famous Japanese trains, including the Yamanote line which is perhaps the most ridden train line in the world). They also have Mai Mai, Sound Voltex, Groove Coaster, all of these super hard to find rhythm games that I love, and they all seem amazingly maintained. I live in California, in a well populated area, and the next available MaiMai DX cabinet to me is probably this one (2 states over). This is not even mentioning dozens of other hard to find retro games that I'm significantly less knowledgeable about. If you are interested in arcade gaming at all, this is a MUST go if you are in the state of Idaho. Like, drive 50 miles out of your way to go here, it's so amazing. Did I also mention this is all 5 dollars?!?! I'm actually shocked that they are able to make a profit with the difficulty of maintenance and part sourcing for some of this weird machines. On another note, every person I've played rhythm games with here has been super nice, which is not always the case in some places (Akiba, etc), So definitely a plus! I love this place and every time I am back in Idaho I will visit it as much as humanly possible.
