VIDEO GAMES

COME PLAY THE CLASSICS!

1984 is not only a retro 80s arcade, we are a preservation museum and a retro 80s hangout! We have on average 70-80 video games and 16-18 pinball machines.

Our collection of games focuses on all the ones we knew as teens in the 1980’s. Games from the 1970’s like Space Invaders and Asteroids are part of that mix. Sometimes a 1990’s game sneaks, if it based on that 1980’s feel. Smash TV is an example of an 80’s game from 1990.

Check out the list of SOME of our games at the bottom of this page.

PUSH THE BUTTON

All our video games have a credit button installed (the blue button) near the coin slot on the front of the game. If you don’t see a blue button the game is probably set on free play. Add credits by hitting the blue button and then start the game with either player 1 or player 2 button and your on your way!

NO QUARTERS NEEDED

HIGH SCORES

We shut our games off at night, so most of them forget their scores (no internal battery). So we track our current High Scores on the 2 TV monitors. One is located above the entrance to the pinball room. The other is located downstairs between the 2 party rooms.

If you are going for a High Score, check the posted score on this board, or have 1984 staff look up a score, or you can look it up on the 1984 App! If you beat that high score, come let us know.

When you beat a score you get:

Your initials and score posted to the board
A High Score “brag button”
A Free Play pass for FREE admission on your next visit!

CHECK THE BOARD

LEGENDS BOARD

Near the Bonus Level stairs, you will see our Legends Board. This board contains the highest scores we have EVER HAD at 1984. On this board are also WORLD RECORDS in black background frames. If you beat the LEGENDS SCORE it is a BIG deal. You’ll get a LEGEND brag button and then your choice of 10 passes to 84 or a t-shirt.
