Decided to go here with the primary objective to play pinball. Unfortunately only 2 out of their 8 pinball machines were working on the day I went in June 2017. (Mata Hari, 1977 and Harley Davidson 2nd edition, 2002) the other six were out of order at that time (some machines did not have pinballs in them, some had broken flippers, and one machine was not plugged in at all, presumably because it does not work properly). I understand though, because pinball machines are complicated and can be hard to maintain. We still ended up having a good time because they had a lot of other arcade games. Wish I could have hung out longer and took advantage of their vintage console game selection. The abandoned mall location is definitely a plus for me; it was a little weird trying to find the arcade at first but I like the Dawn of the Dead kind of feel and walking around the mall gave me an unsettling kind of feeling which I liked. Apparently the entire mall is for sale right now for the low price of 55 million dollars! Ill have to think about that one. I definitely want to check out Arcade Legacys "bar edition" location sometime. And I really wish more of their mall locations pinball machines were working when I went because that was kind of a bummer for me.

This place is incredible. They have about 40 arcade machines if i had to guess, but its not just arcade machines! They have super smash brothers on a projector in the back. They have like 10 or 15 game consoles ranging from NES to PS4, and a whole wall of pinball machines! I played rock band 3 for a solid hour (they have all 1000 dlc songs!). They have a giant library of games to choose from for all consoles and also doubles as a second hand store for video games, movies and memorabilia. They also sell drinks and they really have good prices. 75 cents for a coke or 2.50 for a bawls (which is in my opinion the best pop out there). The staff is really cool and the overall environment is very friendly. For 10 bucks for the whole day its completely worth the money. The only recommendation I would have for arcade legacy is to setup a few gaming computers to play pc games old and new. And maybe a house of the dead cabinet. Love this place.

This was a LOT of fun! Ive been here probably 10-12 times and Ive enjoyed it. Its something my father can actually beat me at :) But its a lot of fun, especially coming here with a close friend or family member. They have such amazing prices on their Games for Xbox, Playstation, PC, and more. And on their Movies and TV Collections discs. The best part of it all is probably the price to play. Its such a low price! One little thing is that Id like to see someone be cleaning the machines and repairing their physical look more often... Ive never seen someone clean one of these machines. I always seem to get sick after I go here, maybe its just paranoia.

Inside this dead mall lives an arcade. Probably the greatest arcade known to man. Or at least the best one in Cincinnati. AL has it all. Console games, arcade video games, pinball machines. They frequently do tourneys and events. They stream live on twitch several nights a week. Its kid friendly all the time. Great place for a birthday party. They also sell used games and collectables. The sell stuff for every platform you can imagine. From atari 2600 to XB1 and PS4. Prices are great. The owner is a gamer and a great guy. If you like video games this is the place to be. They also have a second location in Northside thats also a bar.

We had my sons 11th birthday party at Arcade Legacy... Best.choice.ever. The place is amazing. None of us had ever been before. The kids and the grownups had an amazing time and a few of us stayed until midnight! Great place to totally get your moneys worth, and then some. It is very family friendly... Our youngest had a friend up until they were closing the doors. Great stuff to buy too. Reasonable prices meant the birthday boy spent most of what he got before we left. Lots of thumbs up... Well be back for sure!

The place is great for gamers because of the amount of different choices you have throughout the store and its a single pay so you dont have to worry about spending over when your playing ur games. The people who work the desk are funny guys, theyll throw in a few jokes and usually people will get them and not be put off by them. The choices when it comes to games become a little limited on the weekends when the older crowd comes in and takes over the major gaming systems like the Wii or Rock band.

My teenage sons are into vintage video games, so they had a good time playing the older games as well as shopping for older console games, which they said were pretty reasonably priced. My wife and I played the video games of our youth and had a great time as well. It is really nice how you can pay by the hour or pay $10 for all day and then not have to worry about feeding the machine. You can just keep on playing a machine as long as you want.

this place is getting worse everyday. prices are going up and the people that work here are JERKS! they deal with kids all day so they have real short fuses and have no patience for questions. this one butthole lied directly to my face saying he cant buy my rare games because he dont have enough cash when i could plainly see that he did. he was just being lazy and didnt want to do his job. this place is basically a day care for lousy parents.

Took a trip down here (2 hours from where I live) to see a concert, mega ran and mc lars. This place is a gem. The mall is closed down except for this arcade and one Asian place in the food court across the way. The arcade is awesome so many games you could spend all day here easily. They also sell new and old video games, figures, toys ect. If I lived anywhere near this place I would go every chance I got. Easy.

Absolutely love going to Arcade Legacy! Its been getting more and more people that are going there for fighting games on consoles (when I went last time, a dozen or more people were all playing Super Smash Bros). Has a fantastic selection of old arcade games and pinball tables and theyre all well kept up. Theyve also got an excellent selection of retro console games available for purchase.

Arcade Legacy is a hidden grotto I found when I went into the empty mall looking for a snack. They sell used games from way back to the Atari 2600, and for $10 you get all day access to the arcade games, which have been rigged to not need coins. Go on Thursday nights to participate in fight night (mostly Super Smash Brothers games) and you can get in for $5 for the night. Its amazing there.

This place is great. Been going there for about 2 years and each time I go its always fun. Great for parties or just a simple get together with friends. The staff is friendly and will help with anything you need. Plus all the restaurants outside of the mall area make it perfect. Good prices for when you want to stay for a bit. Good prices on the games they have or you wish to buy them.
