Star Trek

An innovative coin pusher game where players can win character cards based on the classic television series that can be collected or redeemed for redemption tickets. Collect the entire 8 card set or redeem the entire set for out-of-this-world ticket values.

Unlike coin pushers of the past, this pusher features rapid fire coin action utilizing a joystick and pushbutton operation. Players can skillfully direct the coins with the multi-directional automatic coin ramp; allowing the player to strategically place coins on the playfield to push cards, coins and game chips over the ledge for ticket redemption.

Halo

Set in the timeframe of Halo: Combat Evolved, this arcade experience hot-drops players feet first into the boots of Fireteam Raven – a group of elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) on the surface of Alpha Halo fighting alongside the Master Chief and the rest of the UNSC as they try desperately to prevent the alien Covenant alliance from taking control of the ancient super-weapon. 4 Player action only adds to the fun!

Mario Kart DX

If you've never played Mario Kart on a home Nintendo console: it's a less intimidating racing game than most, with fun characters and items to give you a boost. If you have played Mario Kart before: you know you want to try it here.

I will never not play Connect 4 when offered. Playing it for prize tickets is just a bonus.

Injustice

A vastly simplified version of the "Injustice" fighting game, which lets you pit your favorite DC superheroes and villains against each other. You can also get collectible cards, if you're into that sort of thing (and if you like DC superheroes, chances are you are into that sort of thing).

Rampage

A remake of the original Rampage arcade game, but with a new veneer based on the recent movie. Knocking over buildings as giant monsters never gets old!

The Walking Dead

It might be a bit of a gimmick when compared to the House of the Dead game nearby, but I liked having to use a crossbow! Although it took me a while to realize I didn't have to reload after every single shot.

Skee Ball

If you don't have skee ball at your arcade, can it even truly be considered an arcade?

Pac-Man/Galaga

I can't help but think that Pac-Man is a bit harder than it usually is at the arcade. Or maybe I'm losing my touch in my old age. Either way, both this and Galaga are available on the same huge screen.

Space Invaders Frenzy

Be careful with this one: there is a LOT of visual stimuli in this one. The game even comes with a big warning for those with epilepsy. But Space Invaders is a classic, so adding some extra layers -- and lasers -- is a nice touch.

Galaxy Collision

A four-player game of air hockey? I didn't know how much I wanted this to exist until I saw it.

Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

It might not be as complex as Dance Dance Revolution, but it's always fun when arcade games include a little bit of physical activity. Good luck beating my score in the Long Jump event, though.

Luigi's Mansion

I'd give the nod to this game over the Ghostbusters rail shooter, mostly because there's a bit more to do in this one -- collect coins, blast ghosts with flashlights and time your attacks before you suck them up in a giant vacuum.

Guitar Hero

Remember this one? I have very fond, early-2000s memories of this game, and I love it with all my heart.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Be warned: this is a mobile game, like Fruit Ninja, with a Spider-Man veneer. But if you are prepared for that, it's a pretty fun one.

Halo: Fireteam Raven

Big multiplayer rail shooters are always fun, especially when you put them in the world of Halo. You and three friends can all don the armor of the elite SPARTAN soldiers and shoot lots of bad aliens. Yay!

The Jurassic World VR attraction

This isn't technically a game, but an attraction: buying a pass is a separate fee from the game credits. But it's definitely worth trying. The VR ride is made a bit more immersive by a moving seat. Challenge your friends with how many dinosaurs you can tag with the laser pointer during the ride.
