Our corner arcade is returning for Retro Con 2024, and this year we’re supersizing it!! The Game is Afoot Arcade will be bringing in 18 full size arcade cabinets this year, some with dedicated games inside, and others featuring thousands of titles to choose from. From 70’s to 90s, they’ve got your retro favorites covered!

No need for quarters or tokens… all cabinets at Retro Con will be set to FREE PLAY!!

So once you’re done shopping and meet the guests, stop by the arcade to exterminate some centipedes, blow up some pookas and fygars, grab a burger with the Bad Dudes, liberate Metro City from the Mad Gear gang, drive your Ferrari coast to coast, flee from Sinistar, and uh… deliver newspapers.

This arcade expansion is possible through a very generous donation by RetroDaze! A fantastic website celebrating yesteryear, they’ve been stepping up their content in a big way on youtube. Check them out and and give them a sub here!
