Electric Quarter Arcade

We strolled leisurely down the main strip and came upon the arcade. Boy were we so glad we found this place. There were so many fun games such as: Wheel of Fortune, Basketball, Skeet ball, Wack a Mole etc. some of the prizes were amazing. Just this summer they gave away an electric bike and a electric scooter. We won a mermaid doll for our little one, some fun toys and a whole lot of candy🤗. We enjoyed the children playing as a team together to win prizes and mom got a break from the TV being on. We will be back next year.

Looking for classic arcade games? They have more than other local arcades but still not much. At this writing there is a PacMan pixel bash sit-down (30+ Namco classics), Frogger, DK/DKjr/Mario, Simpsons, and the frequently seen class of 81 reunion Ms. pac Galaga. 5 or 6 pinballs and the rest claw machines. There is one of the "Raw Thrills" games, Halo Fire team Raven.

While not the fault of the owner operator, the Pac Man pixel bash machine has only 4-way controllers and games like Dragon Spirit and even Gaplus that require the 8 way are miserable to play with 4. Perhaps there is an aftermarket retofit or mod for this? Pity they DON'T any longer have the SPY HUNTER machine.

Unfortunately while the machines were in great condition, most of them had their volume all the way down except for Donkey Kong/JR/Mario, and even that one you could hardly hear. Don't know why some arcades choose to do this. Taking away the sound from games removes part of the experience.

A nice clean place overall for a little fun, but if you're looking for classic games even this misses the overall experience.

Me and family stay at the Avalon in June. This is a nice little arcade within walking distance. My nephews enjoy playing the games and I even won a Sunny the Seagull. The arcade is a dying breed which is why I'm glad this one is still around. Plus, they have a cool Tampa Bay Buccaneers display inside. One of my favorite features, especially since it's off my favorite player and reason I'm a Bucs fan- Mike Alstott.
