Arcadia Unlimited

facebook logo.png

Arcadia Unlimited is a new attraction that we have been working on since early 2024.  Here is how it all came about:  Ever since opening Arcadia, many guests have asked us why we charge quarters for each play rather than having a single admission fee at the door and leaving all the games free to play.  We have great answers for this question.  However, because many of our visitors have expressed their preference for the pay-at-the-door business model that seems to be how everyone else does it, we decided to create yet another arcade here in McLean, this one featuring this business model.

​

So in 2024, we set out to build the best free-play arcade in the world.  Although it will be a multi-phase project, we have opened Phase 1, which is an offering of over 200 classic arcade games - all free to play with your all-day come-and-go as you please admission pass.​​

​​

​

​

​​

It took us over 2 years of tireless work to complete the massive renovation of (the first portion of) this 100+ year old building, and to restore the over 200 arcade games that are playable within.  We now, finally, have a gift shop where you can purchase souvenirs such as T-shirts, hats, hoodies, magnets, stickers, etc.

​

The games consist primarily of video games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.  There is one row of pinballs and some newer games as well.  We have tried to include as many of the best-loved classics as possible.  In addition, we have some of the rarest games ever made.  If you grew up going to the arcade, I can assure you that you will find games you loved in Arcadia Unlimited!

​

We did section off one small "Party Area" in a corner, so you can reserve this area just to have a couple of tables and some chairs to gather and set your stuff while your party group is enjoying unlimited classic arcade gaming!  Like our party room in Arcadia, this area is free to reserve but your party guests will still need to pay admission to Arcadia Unlimited.

​

We have big plans for Phase 2 of this project.  I will avoid spoiling the surprise, but there will be several hundred more arcade games in the next phase of development.  Phase 1 is in the basement of 104 E. Morgan St., and Phase 2 will consist of the entire ground floor, which is a few thousand sq. ft. larger than Phase 1!

​​

Here is a list of the pinball machines, and then a list of all the games in alphabetical order.  Please keep in mind that I am constantly moving games in and out of this arcade as I get new / better games ready, and as games break down.  So this list is not guaranteed.  I will try to update frequently to keep it as up to date as possible.    Here are the lists:

​
