After playing Rolling stones today we continued on a trip to Creemore Ontario. This is a very small town where the have a brewery that makes deliciously great beer.
But also has a small arcade called "just push play" Lots of decent games all the classics.
Space invaders, galaga, pacman etc. probably close to 30 games. Neat diner style room theme. Coke collectables.
Pins: Baby pacman, Bally Atlantis, TSPP, and a fully restored KISS.
Not too many pins but overall a great place to visit if you are in the area.
Plus brewery tours and antiques gift and craft shops for the ladies.

All games on freeplay, $3 =15 min, $6=1/2hr, $10=1hr, $20 all day pass 11-9

this is exactly what I'm trying to get started in my hometown!
sounds great.

How exactly do they deal giving people 15min/ 30min/ 1hour of playtime? wrist bands?
How did they set that up?

Also what kinds of food did they have? did they have a kitchen?

thanks for your post.

Hand stamps for the time limits. He color codes them and logs them into his computer behind the counter. Then I guess he just walks around when it tells him time is up. It wasn't busy when we were there (actually the only people was us) but he has been in business for the last 3 years. He hold tournaments weekly and monthly, and tues are $7 all you can play all day.

No kitchen, but there was a pizza place right next store.

I remember stuff like that when I was a kid and visiting family in Oregon. You paid to get into a giant arcade and everything was free play. That's cool that stuff like that can still survive.
