As the previous review mentioned the games available I wont go into detail there. With the current selection, kids cant spend much time before getting bored.Several games here dont work at all, and whats even better than that is the disappointment of the games that look like theyre going to work but just steal your money. This is common place for arcades of course, but theres no staff here. Only a coin machine and sign instructing you to call the vestal location with any problem. Thanks guys, big help that is.Btw, the mall did have an arcade back in the day down by Oakdale Pizza, across from the long forgotten 2 screen movie theater.
Didnt know which entrance to go in and happened to park at the wrong end of the mall, walked to opposite end to get to the arcade and the ATM is out of order, had to walk back to opposite end of mall for an ATM, then got back to arcade to find the token machine is out of order! No employees, it is a self serve place- i had 6 kids and $200 out of the ATM to burn on tokens and now im leaving mad with 6 pist children cause they cant play.
Its cool that the Oakdale Mall is getting an arcade, something Ive never seen it have. They have a couple of very cool cabinets, including Halo: Fireteam Raven and the original House of the Dead. Heavy focus on pinball machines. The place does look like its in the process of getting set up, so this is a good faith review based on what looks like a good faith effort. I assume theyll add more cabinets, actual staff, a counter, and an actual prize/ticket system. If insubstantial or no changes are made, I will revise this review, but for now its an exciting new addition to the mall that looks primed to get better.
