Shake Shoppe Arcade

Information

Known variously as "Shake Shoppe", "Shake Shoppe Arcade", "Hershey's Shake Shoppe Arcade", "Primetime Arcade", or "that one arcade with the giant ice cream cone outside". The Shake Shoppe is the northernmost arcade on the Seaside Heights boardwalk and another one of the many, many boardwalk arcades in the area that have a heavy emphasis on redemption and crane games.

Much like its brethren up and down the boardwalk, the games at this arcade can be played with reloadable game cards, coins, or bills. Almost every machine has a bill reader installed on it. Unlike most of the other arcades, the game card credits do not equate to dollars at a 1 to 1 ratio; 1 dollar is equivalent to 6 credits. For the purposes of this list, game pricing will be given in dollar amounts. However, you can gain some bonus credits by purchasing game cards in $20 or higher increments;

$1 = 6 credits (~16.7 cents / credit)
$5 = 30 credits (as above)
$10 = 60 credits (as above)
$20 = 140 credits (~14.3 cents / credit)
$50 = 400 credits (12.5 cents / credit)
$100 = 1000 credits (10 cents / credit)

Hours of operation may vary seasonally. Their website is out of date and they don't post current hours on Google, Facebook, or elsewhere, so it may be worth calling before heading down. The hours shown below were added pre-pandemic and as such may not be current.

I played doubles on that machine in August, they turned the volume up a bit, but still quiet. And I think they fixed the right side.

O RLY?
vlsaurus12 years agovlsaurus1
update: apparently usb profiles work now according to someone on instagram. not sure about customs
vlsaurus12 years agovlsaurus1
seems about right, left side was fine when I went 2 years ago. guess nothing has changed since. Also were customs enabled?
RaPpApEr2 years agoRaPpApEr
I haven't played on the right side cuz last year it was hell on earth. Although, the left side is probably the best pad in Jersey. Also the monitor wasn't lagging when I was playing the entire time this time.

Oof, the volume thing is a struggle I'm all too familiar with whenever I'd play at Penn State.

How were the actual pads here at Seaside Heights?
RaPpApEr2 years agoRaPpApEr
I forgot to update. Machine was VERY quiet, and you couldn't hear the music because of how loud the music was inside the arcade.

Ima go here tonight.
vlsaurus12 years agovlsaurus1
So I heard SMX is starting to make its way to the Jersey Shore. I know there's one already in Ocean City, and Kyle said there were more on the way. Hopefully this location or somewhere else at Seaside will get a cab!

Ah, in that case, if the flash drive never worked it probably never will, there's a certain format of usb needed, mostly older ones
vlsaurus15 years agovlsaurus1
I've always gotten that error with the flash drive lmao

warpdr!ve5 years agowarpdr!ve
to actually answer your questions more effectively, if you were using that card successfully before there's an error with the hardware, management would have to look; considering they didn't even bother with the unlock codes, and considering I've seen questionable behavior regarding the cranes there you're likely out of luck
warpdr!ve5 years agowarpdr!ve
customs gone, RIP
vlsaurus15 years agovlsaurus1
Whenever I insert my flash drive, I get "card mount error." Does anyone know how to fix that?
vlsaurus15 years agovlsaurus1
Never mind it's up and running again
vlsaurus15 years agovlsaurus1
Is the ITG machine working?
warpdr!ve6 years agowarpdr!ve
ok so I'm kind of speculating based on what I've seen but considering the lack of changes from the high scores I got 3 years ago and how quickly the machine got worse from weekend to weekend I can only assume this machine is played incredibly infrequently because otherwise this thing would be on its last legs, because geez the drop in condition is severe.

Also not to mention that this is hopefully not permanent but something around there was making bugs swarm the machine because that wasn't a normal problem I face there. Management was very apathetic to this point so I wouldn't have a ton of confidence in them putting a ton of work into it for the no one that's playing it (or I assume no one)

Disappointing but kind of expected to be honest.

• Comment changed to "Upgraded extreme. Volume is louder. Monitor is laggy, no longer gives double credits. Since they brought in the new board, it must have come with a new copy of the game, because it's now running r23 with customs DISABLED (I think). The menu timers are disabled. Also, Vertex^2 isn't on the machine and the unlock codes weren't working for some reason, so if someone could try the unlock codes again, that would be great. As far as the pads go, P1's bottom sensor on up is more sensitive now. Left has been gittering a little bit. Down, and right are fine. For P2, up's bottom sensor is VERY undersensitive, but the other ones work, so hopefully one of the workers will replace the dead sensor with one of the working sensors. P2's left, down, and right also work great. It's best to just play on P1.".
