Scores from this location are coming up as CastHour again. If anybody has access to this cab please confirm which version stays and if any additional services were done on physical components. 1 month agoDiablo2424
Just visited earlier tonight and all games online, except a few pinball machines. Everything is free to play, some games music are very loud, right next to others that are not loud enough. But for $23/person for the whole night of free play, no complaints here! The DDR A cab is in perfect condition, minus being in the warmest spot in the arcade, at least there's a big fan to blow on you as you play. If you're in the area, make a point to come here! 3 months agoTehCupcakes
Great location with a good variety of games and some unusual ones. Almost all the rhythm games are online at this point - just Taiko and Theatrhythm that aren't. 3 years agoJackatron
Pretty fun place, but make sure you are there to stay once you pay. They will not normally let you leave and come back in even if for a few minutes.
