Arkadia Retrocade

This place is awesome! If you are looking for a trip down memory, this is the place. Staff is awesome, & games are crazy fun. Plus, they are all free! Cant beat that lol

Very cool, retro, vintage place for those older gamers!
Experience: had a great time here, I love the idea of this place, it is truly like none other. Basically this is a retro arcade with vintage games that were famous in the 70s and 80s. they have many games for you to play from and you can spend literally all day there. It is $ 5 admissions, then you can stay for however long you want; you can even leave and come back to play some more! Unlimited games, unlimited credits: a child’s dream, to reach the final round and beat the boss is now possible with unlimited credits. Beautiful. The place is dimly lit, almost like a basement-​y feel. There is awesome games such as: pacman, games with Atari, air hockey, foosball, fix-​it-​felix, turbo, etc. Great experience here and would love to come back!
Service: I came in with my family (~8 people cousins and all) and we were entertained for several hours. We came on the fourth of July and they were surprisingly still open. The lady in the front was very nice and helped us with a lot of the machines.
Games: very very fun! but I do wish that there were some more modern games (but then again, the vintage games is what makes this place so cool). Also, the games seemed to go out of order quite often, so be prepared for your favorite game to be out of order/​fixing. However, they do seem to fix the machines quite quickly cause there were a few people there that were fixing the machines.
Overall, a very retro arcade, would totally recommend coming!

We had a great time here, plenty of fun old school games, very friendly staff, and air hockey!

I played till my right hand and thumb were practically crippled. Awesome place. Even if some games aren’t working (and broken games are the exception, not the norm), it’s hard to get angry when it’s all day free play for $ 5.
Best of luck to the owner, this is a pretty sweet Fayetteville gem.

If you like old school video games or if you just want to low-​key entertainment and don’t have a lot of money to spend this place is awesome.
Plenty of games to choose from with all the old standards and a lot of hard-​to-​find games. Mostly kids here but adults are welcome and everyone is super nice.
$ 5 all-​day all you can play!

Very cool retro arcade! Throw back to the days of pacman, tron, track and field and dig dug! Tons of games that fill the entire location! Air hockey, bubble hockey!
Its a one time entry fee of $ 5 per person and that includes unlimited play to every game possible and thats it! Great family fun!!!

This place rocks! Games i havent seen since i was a kid! And $ 5 to play all day? JOY!!! And right next door to Hawaiian brians? How much cooler can this place be!

My teenage sons and I found this place by accident and it blew us away! They found they loved some of the games I grew up with more than I ever did. Play for the day and come-​and-​go for $ 5 — unbeatable deal. Wish we had more time in this area!

Awesome arcade! Came in for the first time later on Sunday and the manager who is amazing let my boyfriend and I in for $ 5. Had some great vintage games and I lost all track of time! Wonderful experience highly recommend.

Stopped by because we had some time to kill in Fayetteville. This place is awesome. It has all of the old favorites, plus some more obscure titles that were a blast from the past. In addition to the arcade games, this place has several lounges set up, each with its own seating area, CRT television and original console with dozens of games. Easily the most fun you can have anywhere for $ 5. I can’t wait to go back.

A cheap place for a couple of hours of fun with the kids. All the video games I grew up with, including an Atari 2600 with Pitfall (and a lot of other games). They had Tron and Missile Command, so I’m a fan. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the number of nonworking machines. I understand it can’t be easy keeping 30 year old machines up and running all the time but there were quite a few that couldn’t be played. Even so, for the price it’s a great value and we’ll be back.

Stopped by here yesterday with a friend while looking for something to kill time. We ended up staying until he closed up for the night! It was awesome! I am in my early 30s and loved playing the games that I grew up with! They had BURGERTIME!!! That is a great game, soooo addictive! If you are looking for a place to have a great time, for really cheap ($ 5.00 admission and every game is free!) this is the place to go! I guarantee that your kids will love it, and you will have a great time getting to show them the games that you grew up playing and f you don’t have kids… you will still love it!
A fun, comfortable, safe atmosphere that is reasonably priced. They do have a snack bar, but if you are hungry I suggest eating before you get here. Hawaiian Brian’s is next door and a Chinese buffet is in the shopping center, but food is limited on that end of town. Go, have a fun afternoon/​evening for less than a movie and popcorn… you cant really beat that!

Really love this place. The owner/​manager is always really friendly and offers to help with tips regarding how to play some of the games that have challenged me since I was a kid. It’s great to revisit old favorites like Donkey Kong, Space invaders, Spy Hunter, Xaxon… or even sitting on their couch and playing the Atari 2600!
This is a great business and a tremendous bargain at $ 5 all you can play! Good thing there isn’t one in Bentonville or I’d never get anything done.

Decided to stop by after reading reviews of the place, since we had to stop at the NWA mall and Fayetteville library. Very nice hang out for kids aged 6 through 60. They had all the original arcade games, including Fix It Felix (the original Wreck It Ralph), Tetris, and Tron. There are 2 private party rooms and a snack counter in the rear. No outside food allowed, but Hawaiian Brian’s is next door and a delivery guy kept coming in with food for the party folks. There is a couch in the center, in front of a TV console unit that played (don’t really know) cartridge games. The owner, Shay (spelling) is very personable and easy to chat with, if you’re waiting on your kids in the foyer. $ 5 entry for anyone who walks past the podium entrance. My son was the only one interested, but since his older sister started to «assist» him more frequently, I paid another $ 5 for her. I think they should institute a bracelet policy for the patrons, so its clear who’s playing and who’s chaperoning, and can re-​enter without having to tax the memory of the gatekeeper. This was a nice surprise for us, since we’re new to the area and is closer than a similar place in Missouri called «1984». Parents will enjoy the throwback décor, including the rotary phone in the waiting area, and Rubik’s cube tissue dispensers.

5 $ all you can game! STFU! All your fav retro arcade games plus old style consoles hooked up to tube TVs. The most excellent of ideas!

In Fayetteville from out of town & looking for something to do on a cold blustery day. Well we found it, this place is totally awesome! $ 5 for all you can play everything, every good old game you can imagine, plus old wood cabinet TVs w/​80’s video game systems to play with bean bag chairs to sit on. No pretentious vibe from employees or customers. Employees were super nice. Small snack bar w/​candy, chips, soda. They even have a party room which I think would be perfect for a wide range of occasions!. When a lot of stuff around here seems to be closed on Sundays this place is open, so next time you’re looking for somewhere fun to waste a couple hours, go here!!! All they need now is a liquor license :)

This place is absolutely amazing! Over fifty vintage arcade games to choose from, and for five bucks admission you can play all day! Too good to be true, right? It’s so much fun. Although the games themselves are old, this place is super clean and nicely arranged. There are several different types of video games, too. Driving, fighting, flying, and classics like Ms Pac Man and Atari games. There were about a half dozen games that were not working, but they had technicians on the floor and several were repaired during our visit. Everything seems to be in great shape, considering, and there is truly something for everyone. I’m a woman in my 30’s who never really dug the old school arcade games very much but I had a blast playing tons of games. My boyfriend and his buddies were into the old games anyway, so they were in heaven here! There were kids, teens, and adults playing side by side on my visit and everyone was incredibly cool with each other. No one seemed to «hog» specific games, and the arcade is spacious enough that it doesn’t feel crowded even on a busy holiday weekend. It wasn’t a noisy kid fest (I would have been out of there in 10 minutes if it were!), but it is definitely family friendly. The owner who greeted us on our visit was extremely personable and welcoming. They have an affordable snack bar and nice restrooms. It’s just a top notch place and wonderful inexpensive entertainment when you’re in Fayetteville. I honestly don’t know anyone who wouldn’t find an hour’s worth of great entertainment here (and probably MUCH MORE than that… we stayed for almost 3 hours and had a great time).
