Exciting Times Ahead for Greenwood’s Gaming Community
Greenwood is in for a treat as a new entertainment hub is on the horizon—Greenwood Gamer Arcade. With the weather forecasted to be sunny to partly cloudy, it’s a perfect time to plan for indoor and outdoor activities. And come May, whether it’s under the high of 84F or the chill of low 62F, you’ll have the chance to step back into time right here in town.
An Arcade Revival with a Modern Twist
This epic idea initially sparked during a delightful vacation where a visit to a pinball arcade stirred up nostalgia. The founders, filled with inspiration, embarked on creating a space that caters to both vintage enthusiasts and the younger generation. Housed in the former Maxwell Axe Throwing building at 225 Maxwell Ave., Greenwood Gamer Arcade promises a slew of exciting experiences. From classics like Pac-Man and Frogger to modern marvels inspired by the latest gaming consoles, there’s something for everyone.
Family Fun and Competition All in One
The central theme here is family-friendly fun. Beyond gaming, the arcade is eyeing something refreshingly unique—a potential fusion of a bar to create a relaxed “barcade” atmosphere. This marks a step towards creating a distinctive space where adults can enjoy their nostalgia trips while socializing. The dream doesn’t stop there. The co-founders are keen on hosting exciting competitions and community gatherings. They’ve even engaged in conversations with Lander University aiming to bring a Smash Brothers tournament to life.
Community Support: More Than Just a Game
Greenwood Gamer Arcade hasn’t even opened its doors yet, but the local support has been nothing short of phenomenal. The community’s curiosity and enthusiasm are visibly stirring a buzz around this new establishment. The founders have expressed their heartfelt gratitude, humbly admitting that the anticipation and warm reception have been overwhelming. They’re optimistic about engaging with locals and tourists, providing a lively atmosphere reverberating with joy and laughter.
What Lies Ahead
While the plans are in motion, several details like the pricing structure are yet to be finalized. The vision is to allow visitors to relish in an open play experience with a single flat fee, encouraging as much play as the heart desires within an affordable model.
Final Touches
As Greenwood eagerly awaits this new addition, remember that it’s not just an entertainment spot. It’s a journey through different gaming eras, a meeting point for diverse people, and a budding community hub. So, fans of button-mashing excitement, prepare for mid-to-late May. Greenwood is about to become a thriving gamer’s paradise!
