Located in Oskaloosa’s Penn Central Mall, Gen X’ers can stroll down memory lane at Osky’s Old School Pinball & Arcade. Walking through the shopping venue itself and then enjoying pizza at the arcade, you might feel like you’re in a scene straight out of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Playing some Frogger, Asteroids, or Pacman might have the same effect. Don’t forget the earliest staple of 80s games, however– table hockey! Not only is this fun place great for adults who want to sip some beer or wine while they reminisce, it’s a fantastic place to host a party or treat the kids to a wild time topped off by indulgent ice cream concoctions.

The gaming center's mall site makes it convenient for parents out shopping as well as teens hanging out with their friends.
