A- | 573247 | 99999 | Average | This one is just about perfect. The CP is cracking on the corners due to age, but it plays great. I nabbed this one out of a Ballys Aladins Magic Castle in Chicago when Stargate was starting to fall out of favor, and I got the best game on the line. Th | N | Y | Info | Search |

| Star Worlds Arcade | DeKalb, Illinois, United States | 3/5 | I have visited this location on a number of occasions. It has an interesting selection of games to be played. Check the hours, they are somewhat unique. You have to coin in for each game. One game on a previous visit had odd quarter slots, and would not accept a US quarter. |
| Tilted 10 | Rockford, Illinois, United States | 2/5 | If you are looking for classic arcade games, this isn't the arcade you are looking for. It has a ton of the newer stuff, including a massive Pac Man Battle Royale, a load of redemption, TONS of space, but not many classic games. |
| Galloping Ghost Arcade | Brookfield, Illinois, United States | 5/5 | I went here for my birthday. This is the best arcade I have been to in my life. Over 700 games, and the working to dead ratio is at least 20 to 30 working to one not working. The games get regular use, are all on free play (some you have to hit a button to load credits, others are on pure free play. Pay one fee for the entire day. The bathrooms are okay, but you could play here until you are exhausted. Two locations - one with pinball machines (separate fee), and the arcade building which is simply MASSIVE which you pay $25 (at the time I went this year) per person for unlimited fun. If you do one thing this year, visit Galloping Ghost. |
| I/O Arcade Bar | Madison, Wisconsin, United States | 4/5 | I visited as part of a bike ride around the lake in Madison. I agree that this has games I'd want in my collection, and they had a good bunch of them. I tried to play Berzerk, but it was coin-jammed, so I worked with the employee and unjammed it, only to find it had no coin mechs. I coined up a few games and played it, but it seems a bit odd to have a game on the floor when you require quarters to have no coin mechs. All games were playable, and fairly clean. The beer selection was good too. |
| Barcade | New York, New York, United States | 5/5 | We dropped in while riding the subway back from The Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island. First off, the Beer Menu is EPIC. Lots of great craft beers on tap, and a very approachable staff. The game selection is very good. Some of the games (Asteroids) had button glitches, and they were reported for service. I enjoyed spending an hour there, dropping quarters. Make sure you buy some beer or drinks - those help keep the games running and pay the bills. The food was pretty good too. |
