Games include Space Invaders from 1978, Donkey Kong, Golden Axe, Sega Rally, Shinobi, Wonderboy, Robocop, 4-Player TMNT and Simpsons, Time Crisis, Daytona, Point Blank, Double Dragon, Metal Slug, Galaga, 1942, Raiden, Bubble Bobble, Pac-man, Pong (1972) and a heap of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat titles.

Fun seekers can play any of the games in air conditioned comfort for a fixed all-day price, seven days a week. Prices are $25 weekdays and $30 weekends.*
