High Scores Arcade

"This quaint little place is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. It’s a straight throwback to my childhood with dozens of retro games that I haven’t seen since the 80’s. If you are going to go make sure to bring a friend or parent who loves retro games because you will blow their minds and will absolutely make their day."

"A fun trip back to the 80s - restored classic arcade games on free play and a jukebox playing period-correct tunes. Great atmosphere, all-ages. Good value for $6/hr admission. Edit: 11/2023 - price increased (but that's happening everywhere). They have changed up their lineup some, including a couple of custom built arcade games. Oregon trail & super smash bros! Still a great value and a ton of fun."

"Very unique old school video arcade located in Alameda's busiest commercial district. Pay for unlimited plays for a certain amount of time. Decent selection of games range from the oldies like centipede and Pac-Man and Tron up to somewhere more modern racing and fighting games. Not enough space for the big crowd-pleasing games that you would find at Santa Cruz boardwalk, for example. They have a few cabinets with dozens of games you can select from on ROMs. It is small and has a couple of seats and a bathroom in the back. Parking is difficult on park street, but you can easily find parking for pay or free a few blocks down."

"Wonderful place to take the family and revive my video game glory! The staff does a fantastic job of keeping up the arcade cabinets. We spend hours here every time we visit Alameda! "I love High Scores Arcade...it's so baaaad" ;)"

"The value of this place is amazing. Great place to game with some friends or even a fun date. The really cool factor is that you can get your name on the high score board. They have monthly high scores and all time."
