| greedycrisp | June 21 2024 | 5 / 5 | My local arcade, visiting here got me into the hobby. Huge but still has the feel of an arcade back in the heydey. Noisy, crowded, active. Worth a multiple days visit. |
| 64B1T | May 24 2024 | 5 / 5 | Incredible arcade. Never seen anything like it. Played so many games I've only even dreamed of seeing in person. All on freeplay. The mind can not comprehend. Go to Galloping Ghost. You will not leave disappointed. |

| ArcadeTechGW | October 04 2023 | 5 / 5 | I went here for my birthday. This is the best arcade I have been to in my life. Over 700 games, and the working to dead ratio is at least 20 to 30 working to one not working. The games get regular use, are all on free play (some you have to hit a button to load credits, others are on pure free play. Pay one fee for the entire day. The bathrooms are okay, but you could play here until you are exhausted. Two locations - one with pinball machines (separate fee), and the arcade building which is simply MASSIVE which you pay $25 (at the time I went this year) per person for unlimited fun. If you do one thing this year, visit Galloping Ghost. |

| Jones, Timothy (username: 1013) | October 07 2019 | 5 / 5 | The best experience I've had at an arcade in my entire life. Doc Mack, Pete Hahn, and the rest of the GG crew were so great to me. An unforgettable experience. |

| Melvin, Jake (username: VerticalPrimate) | 5 / 5 | Finally visited during Combo Breaker 2024. Was everything I'd hoped it to be. Was disappointed some games were turned off and the shmup section was hotter than hell. But otherwise, 95% of what I wanted to play worked. I'd waited 20 years to play Beavis and Butt-Head and was satisfied. | |

| hisnice | 4 / 5 | Have been several times and the game collection is unmatched anywhere globally. However, the space is too small and games rows are too close together and too long, so it's so hard to get to a game you want to play and then you're trapped in the row when you're done. Also, many of the games have wrong controllers or aren't working and they're understaffed and don't keep up. That all said, they have so so so so many games that you just have to move on and play something else that is rare and special and I recommend everyone go see it in their lifetimes. | |
