| - Went here after a disappointing experience at Foonzo. This place has an arcade-y feel and really takes you back. They do a good job organizing the games -- they put all the pinball machines together, sort of split up the racing games, and have the music and shooting games near the back.
The prices are very reasonable. $20 for 85 tokens, and a lot of machines are only 2-3 tokens per player. That's less than a dollar per play! Some of the machines already had tokens in them, so that saved us a lot as well.
We had a lot of fun with the games. Beware of the X-Men pinball machine, as the layout is poorly designed. My boyfriend is skilled with pinball machines, and it was too easy to have it drop in the middle. The crowd at Amusements 2000 seem cool, as he played against 3 other strangers in one of the racing games. Friendly competition really makes the arcade fun!
In regards to personal possessions, you do have to watch out. My boyfriend and I placed our stuff in front of us, or held onto it. I'm unsure about the staff, but a young guy working there handed our tokens in apathy. I have yet to experience a coin being swallowed by the machine, and how the staff handles it.
But overall this arcade has a good selection of games, and an interesting group of people. Definitely recommend going to it...just pay attention to your stuff!
