Oh Wow Nickel Arcade
6/19/14
Ran into the owner and he said he just took over the account so hopefully he will fix the issues of the broken pins and machines. He acknowledged that some of the pins had issues and while I was there, I saw him with tools and he was working on various machines so that's a good sign. Cool place and as the previous post mentioned, quite a few games are only one or two nickels so the $1.95 admission doesn't feel bad at all. Glad to see arcades like this still around.
It will cost you $1.95 to get in but all the games only cost a nickel, there are a handful that will cost you 2 nickels. All machines are in very poor condition -- dying DMDs, bad flippers, toys broken.

It is only $2 to enter and all the pinball are set to play for .10 a credit. However, every single Pinball is broken enough to be unplayable. Many of the problems are easy fixes (power supply, flipper replacement, ect). You can tell the owners don't care. There are some other fun games in the arcade MsPacman, X-Men ect. So your time won't be completely wasted.
