Insert coin. Or don’t… because it’s all Free Play!

The corner arcade is back for Retro Con 2026, and once again powered by our friends over at The Very Best restaurant in Pottstown, PA! They’re rolling in an awesome lineup of classic arcade cabinets and pinball machines, set to FREE PLAY all weekend long! No quarters needed… though you might want to bring one along anyway to put on the arcade screen bezel to signify you got “next game”!

No emulation here, all their machines feature real boards and hardware!

If you’re local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by The Very Best in Pottstown for lunch. It’s a true local gem established way back in 1921. Josh and his staff are super-friendly, it’s got that perfect old-school vibe, and a menu stacked with comfort food favorites. Menu highlights include burgers, steaks, hoagies, sandwiches, fries, and of course their famous hot dogs (plain, chili, kraut, Texas Tommys, and more). And to top it all off… the place has a full pay-to-play arcade right in the back! So stop by for a meal, and put a quarter in the jukebox to play Double Dutch Bus or Pac-Man Fever!

A huge THANK YOU to our friends at The Very Best for sponsoring the arcade this year! Check out their website and full menu here:
