Underground Retrocade 121 West Main Street, West Dundee, IL 60118

"There literally aren’t many (if any) places on Earth my son and I enjoy more than the Underground Retrocade. First, the location is super convenient, right on 72 with a spacious parking lot behind the Retrocade. You walk in and immediately encounter a number of tables for people to recreate with beverages bought on site. An air hockey table and 4 pinball machines are part of this Immediate area as two separate TVs play 80s cartoons. The favorites are right up front with the Donkey Kong and PacMan franchises at the front of the gaming area. The back of the main level has a coat rack and well maintained restrooms. The second floor has its own fleet of classic games from Arkanoid to NFL Blitz 2000 to Tetris to humankind’s greatest invention ArchRivals! The second floor also has a jukebox that is free to play. There are approximately 200 arcade games on the premises, not counting 20ish pinball machines, the aforementioned air hockey game, and, upstairs, the old U.S. v USSR hockey game. The Retrocade is extremely spacious and each game has a comfortable space on either side of it. If someone is crowding you it is out of bad manners, not necessity. Lastly, you pay one admission fee (currently $20) to play all day at the Retrocade. My son and I spend 6-7 hours there on Saturdays when we can and leave because of fatigue, not boredom. Just an absolutely wonderful place with extremely friendly staff that would have to bring joy to anyone fortunate enough to walk through its doors."

"Really cool place if you're into old arcade games. The guy at the front desk was not very warm or inviting, seemed annoyed by everyone that came in, so I took a star off. But overall still a unique place that I'd visit again."

"Awesome place!! Loved all the games. Such a large variety! While you need to use your phone to get list of songs, really enjoyed the jukebox!! Only wish it was closer... would be perfect for a cold or rainy day. Can't wait to come back!"

"Great selection of old arcade games but only 10 pinball machines. Almost all of the games were working and only 2-3 out of ~75 that had issues."

"This place is so fun. A trip back to 1984. Did not have time to play every game I wanted to play, so I will be back!"
