"Wayback’s Arcade in Pineville, LA is like the one you loved “way back,” but with a big difference. You won’t pay quarters, tokens, or even swipe a card to play a game. $13 gets you all day unlimited free play from open to close." - From the main website.

Wayback's Arcade is the largest arcade in Louisiana, created by local hobbyists and arcade enthusiasts to answer the call of "there is nothing to do in Central Louisiana."

Wayback's Arcade offers a wide selection of over 100 arcade games, one of them being DDR SuperNOVA2, a console room with 10 consoles preloaded with hundreds of games(Atari 2600 to PS3), dang near 20 pinball machines, pizza, ice cream, drinks, snacks, merchandise, side rooms for birthday parties, classic music from the 80s, a photo booth, basketball hoops, skeeball, foosball, air hockey tables, old movies playing in the console room, free Wi-Fi, and a wonderful retro atmosphere to finish it off. Oh, and a shiny discoball! With this much space and that many games, you'll be a long ways from boredom. Plus, tournaments for various games are occasionally held, special events are sometimes held and announced in the Facebook page, and there's a high score board to shoot for too!

Wayback's also has a membership service, where you can pay a single cost of $35 to get unlimited access for that whole month. You can even pay for 3 months, 6 months, a year, or, at a whopping $1,500 dollars, a lifetime membership!

Wayback's knows money can be hard to come by, and so they offer discounts!
Every Monday, college students get in 50% off with proof of ID.
Every Tuesday is Family Day, where one immediate family member gets in free with your purchase of entry.
Every third Thursday is Membership Appreciation day, where members get 30% off any purchase made in the arcade, plus the ability to bring in one guest free.
Military, law enforcement officers, and first responders get 10% off anytime.
When you come in for the first time, ask for a loyalty card. This card has 5 slots to be punched, and when all 5 are punched, you can redeem that card for a free entry.

So, if you ever find yourself in CenLA thinking there's nothing to do, because there really isn't much around here, swing by Wayback's Arcade. Whether it be for 30 minutes or 3 hours, you'll be glad you came. As an added bonus, there's a local coffee shop next door too, in case you need that extra push to get a AA on MAX 300 Expert.

Due to rambunctious idiots breaking the computers, they are gone, but in their place, the console and PC room is being upgrade to the console and Rhythm Game room, where all existing and new rhythm games will be moved.
EAmusement + Aime cards will now be sold for $10 for people to save their scores on our rhythm games.

Due to limited space, every pinball machine we have cannot be out at one time. If you see one listed as "Not Working," and "Currently out of commission," that just means it's in the back and may come back again one day.

• Comment changed to "DX Style cabinet (TV Replaced), bracketed pads but brackets replaced with 3d printed ones, pads are modded. Running PumpSanity with a bunch of customs. Please note that the sync is off so the sound is a little behind. You have to press early or you get goods. Also, since the game is on event mode once 2 people play you can no longer play doubles.".
