8 reviews for James Games Family Fun Center
Arcade Fighter aficionados and tech insomniacs getaway. Very local and a very interesting location. There are a variety of games with a specialization in arcade fighters, as previously stated, with a very reasonable(ly cheap) price per play.
The operation hours extend late on a weekday night closing at midnight and weekends at 3AM, if I recall correctly.
Lots regulars with their own favorite days and machines.
Slightly sketchy with the late hours and all. Don't be surprised if you get challenged by some dude smelling strongly like the herb. Heck, some just wreak of an odor most foul.
As far the number of MVC2 slots are here it's great. Other than that...eeeeewwww! LOL.
My Master aka JOEL brought me here 2 weeks in a row to significantly change the ambiance from SUPER to JAMES. It took me 2 days to get used with the sticks before whoopin' ass on good scrub players and MASTER JOEL....hahaaaaa!!
Only thing is, place is ghetto the fullest sense of the word. Parking is very big at night and I just wonder what the hell other people are doing far away into the dark when there is a lot of space under the light? Fishy!
Last Friday, it was far the best evidence that place reeks of bad entities as we were playing, a dude 4 machines down to the left was, I SWEAR! STinkssssssssss soooo badddd! I had to respectfully-offend him by covering my nose with my shirt as I was playing. I left to save sanity.
Don't get me wrong, this place is a good place just not a great place to be if you want some fresh air.
Great place, Guilty Gear, Street Fighter IV, Marvel Vs. Capcom, Maximum Tune, not too many quarters either, most of those games are 25 cents.
They also have air hockey, bust-a-move (puzzle bobble) and some Japanese arcade games. Gets a little stuffy on the weekends, and I don't think they turn on the A/C. The workers are really cool. I love coming here, but that may be because it's one of the only arcades I know of. They close late on Fridays and Saturdays, either 1 a.m. or 2 a.m., and either 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. on the weekdays, but I'd call to be sure.
I never see children there, usually teenagers and young adults.
I was here for the first time last week saturday. It was dope cause the poeple that go there, and the people that work there are freakin cool as shit.
My boy IAN goes there alot and he's hella cool.
i love that place...!!!!! nice big parking lot too.... but fuck the roaches...!!! hahahahaha

Went here a couple times...
home to MVC players...
has some old school games...
pool tables...
gets some new japanese games sometimes...
mainly fighters...
if you get bored, go to upland bowl across the street...
it's OK...
That's amazing that this place is still in business, seeing as that it opened in the early 80's, and it's been at least that long since I've been there! I''d give it 4 stars, just for nostalgia sake, it's in a terrible area (meaning you'd probably never want to go here after dark) and deserves fewer stars in reality. It has always been rather small for an arcade, but it always use to carry all of the latest video games.
I can't even tell you how many thousands of quarters I dumped into the machines here, right when Space Invaders, Missile Command and other games came out. Does anyone remember those games? At the time, they were "state of the art", but now, I'm sure a kid in elementary school could program one of those games in an afternoon! Like most adolescents, I had a video game "problem"! Fortunately, it was a temporary thing and I escaped unscathed and slightly poorer for the experience.
It's right across the street from Upland High School, so of course it's right next to the perfect target market to hook the next generation of video game addicts.

This was my home away from while I was attending Upland High school. I was seriously addicted to Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and was a bad ass at both games. My best friend and I came here so much, the owner still remembers us whenever we stop by, for old times sake.
I love marvel vs capcom 2 and I love drummania and this arcade has both. And the people that play MvsC2 are elite! So if you want a challenge this is the place to go. Other than that they have a good amount of racing games and shooters. They have DDR and the other groove game. And they have other good fighters like Streetfighter3d Strike and guilty gear and such. Oh yea and they have a pool table there.
