5 reviews for Oh Wow Nickel Arcade
Really you cant beat 5 cents to play video games. You basically pay like a $3 cover charge (tax included) and can play forever on like $5. Spend $10 and your basically there for like half the day...well maybe depends on the type of gamer you are.
Here they have the old school games and of course the new games which always tend to cost more than 5 cents...haha oh well just something i notice. From other reviews, they are right about the cleanliness of the place, but really what ya expect with a place that attracts game-loving kids and is cheap. Believe me I did bring out my hand sanitizer out quite a bit, and used ALOT of it along with the nephew.
This place is one of those places to let kids be kids and have fun. Yeah youll see the "older" gamer that probably dont have g/f's but at least they are outta the house and off the streets right?? Its a nice little arcade with great A/C and you really cant beat the prices.
I love video games. I love playing them at home. I like knowing where my controller has been.
That's the only reason this place gets 4 stars...because other people's germs really skeeve me and in my mind, arcades are generally ranked along with the bottom of my purse, bathroom door handles and shopping carts as the dirtiest places people touch on a daily basis.
At least here, I know I'm not being overcharged for the next flu bug I'm about to catch. Now if people would just stop looking at me funny when I wear my disposable latex gloves here..
(It's okay to take your kids here, but stay here with them.)

You pay 1.95 to get in and then you get to play games and SKEE BALL for a nickel. And, would you believe this, they even have coupons in the phone book for bogo on the admission! That's some pretty amazing cheap fun to me. And I *know* cheap fun!!!!
note:
I've heard that they don't have the "latest" video games, but I was never hip enough to realize what games were in, so this seems like a bucket of smiles to me!!!!

OK, OK I've never actually been there, but my Mom takes my boys (now 15, 14, and 9) every time they visit. They talk about it for DAYS, even the teens. We have nothing like this in Stockon... then again, these days we have nothing fun for kids in Stockton at all. Grrr.
