I took my family for vacation to Branson, MO, and we stopped by the 1984 Arcade there. I had been to the 1984 Arcade in Springfield before, and this is much the same. Admission is a flat $10 per day per person, and you get unlimited video game plays. Pinball games are $0.25 to $0.50 a play.

This arcade is fun, clean, and has a great atmosphere, with 80s music and videos playing. I think only two arcade machines on the floor were out of order. I basked in the retro glow for a while before playing some Centipede, Tempest, Stargate, Zaxxon, and then Gauntlet and Vindicators with the kiddo.

I recorded this video for vacation memories, not to give a detailed review of the arcade or show all of the games they have on the floor. But I think it gives a good sense of the ambiance. Take a look if you’re interested.

Head on over to the 1984 Branson arcade website for more details.
