Nostalgia Overload, Looking Forward To Future Improvements
It's literally the largest arcade in the world! If there's a game you played in the 80s, 90s or 00s, it's extremely likely that they'll have it here. The free play model is cool, and I'd say about 95% of the cabinets were up and running. It's been very impressive to see this company increase their footprint further and further down Ogden avenue. It's been a decisive takeover. I'm not complaining though, good for them! I hope they stay in Brookfield for a long long time. It'd be cool if they could secure some funds for remodeling (both inside and out), to give the place a cleaner, more polished feel. At the very least, they could invest in a better HVAC system. With all those machines running at once, it got pretty warm and muggy inside. Increasing fresh air flow would be a welcome improvement. It was really cool to visit with my dad and my son, three generations. We enjoyed showing my son so many original games with characters he knows and loves. We'll be back!

It was 1996 all over again!
I miss all the 1990s style arcades with all those games I once played so long ago. Well, they’re all here at Galloping Ghost! I played them all: Altered Beast, Golden Axe, PAC-Man, Super Mario, Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Renegade, Cruisin’ USA, Area 51, Terminator II, I could go on… there all here and you can play all day literally. Amazing! This place really took me back in time for three hours of intense fun.

Arcade fun
This arcade was a pleasant surprise. You pay a flat fee to play arcade games “for free” all day. You can leave and come back the same day for no additional cost. They have, literally, hundreds of arcade games, video and pinball. Aisles can get crowded, but everyone is having fun!
