![]() ![]() Not much English on that one.”īelieve it or not, that is one of the most popular games at the arcade, It is called Punch Mania 2, it is based on a very popular Japanese cartoon called fist of the North Star, it has been enjoyed by hundreds of players. How do you play it? We're still not sure. They even have a weird game where you have to punch these red paddles that flip out at your face. I apologize for this Ben, but we are using classic mechanical token mechs in the xmen, which was what it was designed with almost 30 years ago, if you try to put in the tokens too quickly, sometimes the mechs won’t catch it properly, and sometimes clients put in quarters which jam or dis-align the mechs, even thought we adjust and test the mechs regularly several times a day, unless a client notifies us that the mech is not working properly we cannot check it and adjust it for them, and we also take care of the tokens they put in, many times giving them extra credits for their time, we like to keep that old arcade feel by continuing to use tokens, but alas this is the biggest problem that plagues a token type system, jams and having to deal with unfamiliar coins being jammed in them, a majority of our clients prefer the token system as it brings back the nostalgia of an era now gone. “I did enjoy tapping away on the cool X-Men game (although my brother frequently had to insert two tokens instead of the required one when using Nightcrawler). ![]() And I am proud to say it gives everyone the opportunity to play titles that you would never see anywhere else in the USA. I do not believe that is such a bad ratio 2 out of 63 cabinets. Out of all of those Arcade games only 2 imports out of the 63 cabinets that have Japanese writing in the games, the other 61 have all American text. Not including all the console and pc titles which will bring your total # of unique games you can play at Arcade Odyssey to well over 200 +. There are 63 games currently in the arcade, 3 of them are multigames with a ton of classic titles, such as Pacman, Frogger, Robotron, Missle command, etc, with the 3 multigames, it brings the total # of games you can play in the arcade to 105 different titles. There are just a handful of classic games, and a ton of weird Japanese imports - some with nary an English word anywhere on them.” “But Arcade Odyssey isn't all that special. You mentioned a few items in your review that I would like to address here is your review with my replies. I wanted to fall in love with Arcade Odyssey, but I'm not sure it merits a second date. But there wasn't any signage or anything. There are several desktop computers available (not sure why) and an area that appears to be set up for console games. Did I really need to hear that blaring while I'm playing games? There was also someone narrating something over a very loud speaker, but I have no idea where the man with the microphone was, or what the hell he was describing. There's an air hockey table, but it has a lot of dead spots where the puck doesn't float. I did enjoy tapping away on the cool X-Men game (although my brother frequently had to insert two tokens instead of the required one when using Nightcrawler). There are just a handful of classic games, and a ton of weird Japanese imports - some with nary an English word anywhere on them. They are the last guardians of a dying age.īut Arcade Odyssey isn't all that special. On principle, I'm inclined to love any arcade. I wish there were more arcades like this, especially where I currently live because it would be a blast to work there and enjoy an atmosphere of people coming together to enjoy old- and new school games. It wouldn't do enough justice to how amazing this place is. I don't know what else to say that can't really be put into words. Immediately it's a welcoming and friendly atmosphere with the staff members helpful and completely awesome individuals. ![]() I also have a shirt from there that I love wearing.Įssentially it is the home away from home. If I had a million dollars I would have easily spent it all there playing as much as possible, as long as possible while also enjoying the Japanese treats and drinks that are difficult to find. The classics from pinball to shooter games from DDR and Pump it up (which is my favorite whenever I get a chance to go there) to air hockey. The glow in the dark carpet is sick and I want them in my room! The games are a fantastic combination of old and new in catering to everyone's tastes in gaming genres. To put it simply it is the best place to be. ![]()
