| - My youngest and I were looking for something to do on a cold day. The thought of "all the games I can play" was a hit, so we headed to Geeks Mania.
Upon arriving, the guy at the front desk was very friendly and helpful and answered all my questions before I could ask them. We were banded up and ready to roll quickly.
For me, the place was amazing. I love pinball - from the old tables to the newest ones. I'll play 'em all, especially if a $15 wristband lets me go crazy without digging up a bag of quarters! The arcade games, for me, were lacking. Sure there were a few nostalgic classics, but mostly titles I either never played in my youth, or never saw them. None the less - the unlimited play lets you try them all, so that's great.
Our problem was that it was busy (Saturday afternoon - probably my fault). The room gets pretty hot with all those machines - throw in a bunch of people and it gets downright stuffy. My son didn't last too long - he's not a huge pinball fan and the arcade games were unimpressive (understandably so - today's Xbox is way better than yesterday's arcade games). We were going to hop on a pool table, but those were full and queued up pretty bad.
We probably didn't get our money's worth, but I'm happy to give those guys a few of my dollars to keep the business going. I'll be back, for sure - too much pinball for me to pass up! If you plan it right, you can go play for a while, leave for lunch or dinner, then come back and play some more. You can't beat that!
