WHAAAAAACK !
The only thing I'm going to be commenting in this review is the arcade because that is the reason why many people visit Regency in the first place.
What makes Regency different from most other arcades is their competition for fighting games. If you don't want to drive all the way to Family Fun Arcade for the best competition, then visit Regency instead for some good competition. The two games that get played the most is Street Fighter III: Third Strike and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, both having two cabinets each. If are are still practicing, come during the afternoon where the competition is not as intense. Come during the night if you rather play against people that can put up a challenge. Sometimes there are tournaments that are held which brings in people from other arcades, including well known people such as former champ Alex Valle.
Other fighting games include Guilty Gear XX, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Tekken 5, etc. If fighting games aren't your thing, then there's always other alternatives like Initial D, Maximum Tune, and several other interactive games. Games are fairly cheap with most being only a quarter like the old arcade days.
While not the best arcade in the world, it's still a very a good one compared to places like Powerstation or Nickel Nickel especially if you want some competition.
