replay amusement museum

This was a step back in time to my misspent youth playing all the wacky games of the 70's and 80's in one great spot. Pinball games galore - The Black Night! We had that one in the local pizza place in my town. Captain Fantastic - throwback! Frogger, Pac-Man, Star Wars, 4x4, Punch-out, etc, etc, etc, It is all here and one price for unlimited games. I played all these with my kids and we had such an awesome time. It was really fun for an afternoon on a rainy day. Be prepared to feel 30 years younger with your kids.

As I was taking in the lights and sounds and enjoying my new experience, a new idea was posed: what if arcade machines are the superior format for these 8-bit and 16-bit video games? I and my date had an amazing time. Everyone should go at least once.

This place will take you back to the good ol' days of Arcade gaming. When gaming was real and you had to stand up and use your arms and all your fingers. Pinball, Qbert, Galaga, Tron, you name it they have it. For $13 you get free game play, get a wrist band and you can leave and come back later the same day (there's no food or drinks allowed, I don't blame them some of the pinball machines are worth thousands). If I lived in Tarpon Springs I would be there at least once a week if not more. Time flies by so set an alarm if you have to be some where you will get lost in the moment. It never got crowded (we were there on a Saturday and Sunday kinda early in the day) Our 22yr old son even had a great time and most of the games came out way before he knew how to walk. I took one photo then forgot to take more my phone was lost in a time warp back to the day of no cell phones! Only thing that could have made it better ASTEROIDS!!

This is probably one of the most awesome museum's I've been to in a while. Entering, the counter where you buy your wristband is made up of old tokens (this really made me smile). The wristband is for all day and you are allowed to enter and exist at will. I thought this was awesome because if you get hungry or are interested in the other shops you can absolutely "take a break" from gaming for a little bit. Once you're in the game play area, all machines are set to be free play, so you can play to your hearts content! :)The museum itself is amazing. There were pinball machines lining all up and down the side walls...ranging from the early age of pinball to the most recent ones (I believe I heard them say their newest was a 2012 machine). You do have to remember that many of these are *old* machines. Thus we did encounter some which were not functioning at the moment and others which seemed like their parts were somewhat warn, however the nostalgia cannot be beat when you get to play games which you haven't seen for almost 20 years. Mostly in the middle of the store and at the end were the video games. Again, the nostalgia was awesome, getting to Pacman, centipede, and Tron again. We went on a Saturday and the museum was fairly busy, with age ranges of the people in there being from their 60s to teens. This concept appeals to all ages! Additionally, I didn't notice people "hogging" machines since there were so many to play and you could come back to a machine any time you want. Overall, I'm very excited that this is in the Tampa Bay area and I will absolutely bring guests visiting the area here so they can get their game on. :)

A group of my friends and I decided to check out this place (one of the girls in the group is in a pinball tournament league). WHAT A GREAT TIME! We were there like kids in a candy store, 2 hours flew by and we didn't even realize it. Games are ALL in great shape, very clean. "Hercules" is a must see beast! You name it they have it. Fun and not expensive at all.
