Get your game on at these retro arcades in New Jersey

There are plenty of arcade options in New Jersey, but only a fraction of them are hyper-focused on giving adults a chance to play the games they used to obsess over as kids.

Retro arcade venues have been opening up throughout the state, featuring pinball machines and other major stand-up arcade hits like Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong, and Galaga.

At some spots, you also have the option to grab a seat and play your favorite games on a console such as Sega or Nintendo NES — like you did in the 80s and 90s.

Below is a list of retro arcades located in New Jersey.

One big difference these days, compared to arcades from the past: At most of these spots, you pay based on the amount of time you spend in the building (don't worry about bringing a bag of quarters).
