Pac man, Zaxxon, RoboCop, Tempest, Gauntlet, Space Invaders, Defender, Tecmo Bowl, Dig Dug, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, Millipede, Frogger. Video arcade games of the 1980 era. Remember stuffing quarters into these games? I spent a fortune on the Asteroids game at the old Pence’s Grocery Store at 15th and Main back in the day. Want to do it again? You’ll have your chance. A new arcade is opening in town and will feature the games of your youth and more. 80’s Flashback Arcade will announce an opening date soon. But, in the meantime, they applied for a cereal malt beverage license with the Ottawa City Commission. City Clerk Melissa Reed with more:
The application was approved. Shawn Marley is opening the arcade with over 90 arcade, skee ball, air hockey and dance machines, including an E-Sports Lounge. Better get a couple rolls of quarters ready!
