up that there are still people who put love and appreciation into places like this and we're keeping them alive and that i can still go to a place like this and have a great time it just it makes me really happy so i had a lot of fun there and i gotta say that's a really great arcade they really commit to the theming and the vibe there which is very important for an arcade because you know anybody can play video games at home now being in an arcade and feeling like you're stepping back in time is really the whole appeal of that so i had a lot of fun this place is called back to the arcade at the south mall in allentown i highly recommend you come check it out if you're nearby my name is ray my channel's right out there thank you for watching
