Information
$3.95 entrance feeAll games either freeplay or 5, 10, or 15 cents.
This arcade now uses a card system that allows you to put money and store tickets on a card. You can ask to get a card at the front desk or get one at one of the red kiosks near the front desk. These cards do not expire and can be refilled at the front desk or using one of the blue kiosks. The cards can only be used at this arcade.
NOTE:
- None of the machines except for the ones that require a coin as part of their mechanism use coins anymore.
- Cards can be registered to a name and e-mail address so you can get a new card at no extra cost if you lose yours (as happened to me).
- The card system is third-party, and can sometimes have extraneous, unrelated charges to your debit card. Arcade staff said it wasn't too uncommon after the swap from nickels to cards, so be aware & try to limit transactions to cash-only.
Birthdays / special events are no longer hosted here.

Games
| Music Game | Price | Condition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| In the Groove 2 (North America) Location: The left wall, straight ahead from where the main entrance is. Comment: All of the speakers were replaced. It still doesn't sound super great but it's good enough. They decided to put the old CRT back in it because they couldn't get the flatscreen to work, so the image is pretty dim and the colors are wrong. The machine is still running ITG2 because they haven't upgraded it. I don't think they will be upgrading it, at least not for a while. The machine technically works and that's all management cares about. The pads are a little bit better thanks to the techs putting some cardboard between the sensors and the pad. It's not great but it's totally playable. | $0.15 / Standard Single-Player Mode (3 songs)

• Comment changed to "The machine is working very poorly right now, only one speaker works, the screen is very dim and the pads suck. This will all be fixed, but it will take some time due to budget constraints. The first thing we're going to do is replace the computer with something newer so we can install ITGmania and upgrade to a flat screen instead of a CRT (the OG ITG2 doesn't work with flatscreens, it just reports that there's no monitor then proceeds to output a squashed image).".

• Comment changed to "(Note: Currently has no monitor so the machine isn't working) Runs the original ITG2 version r23 and has the original In The Groove 1 & 2 songs as well as tons of other songs added. The machine has ~4500 total songs. USB slots are on the left side of the monitor housing. Bottom USB is player 1 and top USB is player 2. The machine now accepts custom songs again thanks to a new service technician who re-enabled it. All arrows have had their sensors replaced. Both sides work well, but they require a bit of force for hold presses.".

• Comment changed to "This is a hacked machine for songs that appeared outside of In The Groove 1 & 2. USB slots appear, but are located at the left of the menu controls. The machine cannot take custom songs anymore due to how many players were doing explicit/cuss-word songs very often at one time. P1 side is almost unplayable, but P2 side is ok except for the right arrow which can't hold.".
