SNEAK PEEK! Electric Dreams Arcade (Perkasie PA), 4K arcade walkthrough & tour, November 2024

Описание: Yesterday, we got a chance to check out the brand new Electric Dreams Arcade in downtown Perkasie, Pennsylvania!

For the past two and a half years, this arcade has been the brainchild of husband and wife team Jake and Amanda. They've been collecting arcade cabinets, pinball machines, 80's & 90's themed memorabilia, and steadily putting it all together, and finally they were able to open their doors to the public for a soft launch of the impressively themed three-floor arcade on Saturday, November 30th. My family and I were the first customers through the door, and we got to explore this collection of over 30 pinball machines and several dozen retro games.

First impressions? The vibe is EXCELLENT. With low lighting, the vibrant colors of the pinball machines pop out amongst the first floor. Slinky toys amusingly dangle from the ceiling, giving a sense of playfulness. Animatronics on each floor add a bit of life to the party as well, from Slimer upstairs, to a Demogorgon on the first floor, and one of the Mars Attacks aliens in the basement with a blaster at the ready. But what about the games?

The entirety of the first floor is all pinball. With a mix of machines ranging in vintage from the late 70's to brand new ones that just dropped this year, there's a little something for everyone! I found current obsessions like Jaws, Stranger Things, and The Uncanny X-Men sharing space with classic favorites like Monster Bash, Cyclone, and Whirlwind. There were even some machines that I don't see out on location all that frequently, including the old 70's version of The Incredible Hulk by Gottlieb, Wild Fyre by Stern, and a mid-80's Gottlieb machine called Spring Break that was a surprising amount of fun with a really unique layout!

The second floor has a few more pins, but this is where the majority of the retro games are. The lineup is all killer no filler, with classics like Centipede, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, the Donkey Kong trilogy, Mortal Kombat II, Tron, and the original Space Invaders. There's also a number of other fun, physical games up here like Ice Ball, Super Chexx, Pac-Man air hockey, the physical electromechanical Pong table, and a couple of SubSoccer tables -- which, if you haven't played yet, you have to absolutely try!

Meanwhile, the basement is a total 80's throwback. While there isn't a ton of stuff down here, they've got a Star Wars comic art home edition pinball machine, a Pac-Man cabaret cabinet, a Frogger cocktail table, a classic foosball table, and more movie posters and memorabilia than you can shake a stick at. All it needs is a couch, a CRT TV, and a console and I might never want to leave.

All the games in the arcade are on free play, and you pay for the amount of time you want to stay. You can spend $12 for an hour, $18 for two, or $25 for the full day. One guess as to what we opted for -- I kinda didn't want to leave. Honestly, if I lived a little closer, I think I might be here all the time! Hats off to Jake and Amanda for a successful soft launch of the arcade, and if you live anywhere in the eastern side of PA or northern New Jersey, you owe it to yourself to make the trip out here and support this new arcade.
