Old School Arcade Room

Highly recommend checking out the old school arcade room in Tyler! I’ve been wanting to go for months and finally had a chance to go for several hours for my birthday. Tons of old arcade games and lots of pinball machines, along with pool tables and air hockey. Among the gaming consoles are an original NES, an Atari game sampler of some kind, and Nintendo GameCube. There is also a snack bar with lots of chips and what not. A technician was there servicing some of the arcade cabinets. Very clean and well kept. My biggest highlight was playing Super Mario Brothers 3 on an original NES, seeing the same Wolverine action figure I had when I was a little kid in the 90s, and the brass swans that my grandmother had in her house. The arcade is located in an antique/collectible/jewelry store. The owner Mike and his wife were very pleasant and kind enough to let me enjoy some brewed coffee throughout the day. There is also very clean single restroom.

This is a neat retro arcade. You pay and then the games are all included. They do sell some snacks and drinks. Some machines are in repair but the majority are ready for play. If you are a fan of old school arcades renting out the space for a birthday is great idea. Parking is strange and I missed it my first time as you need to park and enter through the anitque & pawn shop to get to the arcade. Our group had fun and enjoyed our time.
