High Scores Arcade (Alameda)

Información

High Scores Arcade owns about 160 games, but only has enough space to hold about 40, so they rotate games on a regular basis. Please contact the arcade to make sure the game you want to play is available.

Pricing: Admission is $10.00 per person for an hour or $22.00 per person all-day, with all games set to free play.

Transportation : AC Transit Routes 20, 21, 51A, 78, and O at Park Street and Santa Clara Avenue. There is a metered parking lot behind the arcade near Kaiser Permanente, with a walkway between it and the front entrance.

History: High Scores Arcade is a privately owned "interactive spite arcade museum" opened in August 2010 by Shawn and Meg Livernoche. Along with games, they have plaques on the walls that give the history of Arcades, including the ban on stand-alone arcades in Alameda County. They once had a location in Hayward, CA, but they closed it down because of the COVID-19 pandemic and later opened another location in Monterey. They are another game preservation organization similar to the Pacific Pinball Museum nearby. They're known outside of the arcade community. for hosting artistic custom cabinets of non-arcade games like the Legend of Zelda, Oregon Trail, and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
