Oscar M.Oscar Medina Garcia: U.F.O catchers are extremelt difficult, better go with gachapon or the excellent arcades.

DannyDanny: Fun little arcade but mostly claw machines which are veeeryy hard to win at.

Melissa G.Melissa Goodnight: As with other arcades around here, the smoking indoors is kind of intense, but otherwise it's a good arcade. Hey Arcade is a bit better than this one though.

Chris B.Chris Burke: The locals may no longer be impressed but as a tourist and avid gamer I loved it. The half pipe is by far their best attraction. Lines build quickly. Also the day pass is the best value.

Saad A.Saad Al: Highly recommended. Must be visited every day  
