About Neon Retro Arcade - Pasadena

Arcade games were designed to gobble up your coins. That's what made them so challenging—and what made them eat up quarters by the roll. But at Neon Retro Arcade, the only cost to play is the price of admission—either by the hour or an all-day pass. With unlimited credits at their disposal, players can settle down to conquer a single cabinet or simply wander the selection of more than 50 rotating games, which have included titles such as:

  • Arcade classics such as Super Mario Bros, Galaga, and Dig Dug
  • Pinball machines from the 80s, 90s, and through present day
  • Shooters such as House of the Dead and Police Trainer
  • Fighting games, including Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Mortal Kombat II

This was so much fun! So glad we got to go before COVID-19 came. Can’t wait to go back and play some pinball machines and arcade games again.
