“Immaculately kept, amazingly stocked, arcade! The videogame selection features a unique selection of games you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Pay once for an entire day of fun, you can easily spend 3 hours here. Try Animal Kaiser of they have it, it's worth the extra upcharge of $2! It's the most awesome, ridiculous animal fighting game; each time you play, it gives you a super cool card to add to your collection of fighting animals xD”
