Remember how much fun life was as a kid? Riding our bikes to the closest store as soon as our favorite teen magazines hit the shelves. Knowing all the words to the opening of Family Ties, Who’s The Boss, and Growing Pains. And, hoarding our quarters, so we could spend our free time at the local arcade. Wouldn’t it be fun to relive those days for just a few hours? Well, you can. Travel back to the 1980s – when we all knew the answer to where’s the beef? – with a visit to this vintage arcade in Missouri.
Journey back to the good ole days when you step through the front door of 1984, a vintage arcade that houses nearly 80 classic video games and 18 pinball machines.
But, you can leave your quarters at home this time. Admission to the arcade is only $7.50 for all you can play. (And, if you leave and return the same evening, you don't have to pay again.)
Were you one of those kids who always made it to the leader board? Well, beat the high score on the video game you're playing (high scores are wiped out at the end of each evening), and win big with your name on the high score board, a free play pass for your next visit, and a "high score brag button."
But, it gets better. Check out the Legends Board. If you beat a score on it, your name goes up on that board. And, you win a brag button and 10 free play passes or a t-shirt.
