  Pretty good: no ticket machine overload (good in my book), a fair number of classic and 90s games in OK working order considering the crowd, and a nice mix of newer arcade titles (Walking Dead, etc) that are a good time. The place is big, even during peak season on weekends we could get in and have fun with the games. Hours are long and flexible on weekend and Fridays.
  
  Didn't love: prepaid cards, machine wouldn't take my Amex, tickets required for the junk redemption left small children feeling like they didn't win, prices on some machines were odd (Star Trek Voyager was $1 equivalent-as one example).
  
  Didn't get to try the Laser Tag. This was packed with a variety of aged kids and times to start a game too long.
  
  Overall a good time for an arcade in a top tourist spot.

  Games are old and the inside is stuffy. Game card machine only accepts $20 per card. Meaning to play any videogame you must previously have a card or starts new card with a minimum amount of $20.

  Fun place, prices aren't awful considering the location. Good selection of games and other activities.

  Best beach arcade and fun house! Something for everyone of every age to do rain or shine. Nice boardwalk and casino for children play and also adult people can play volleyball on beach

  This place is an institution and we love going here. Just wish that they, would take better care of or get better versions if their games because some of them are not functioning well, particularly the Mario cart game. Every time we go it's the same- only 1 or 2 of the 4 or 5 units work and very poorly at that .

  The arcade has been here for as long as I can remember visiting, well over 45 years. Not only is the atmosphere fun, it brings back memories of when arcades like this reigned as the entertainment "hot spot" when growing up.
  
  Always worth a visit when on the Boardwalk!

  Great place to go. Affordable for all. Really enjoyed my time there even with no kids as I like to play games and be a kid myself.
