| Cactus Jack's Family Fun Center | Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States | 5/5 | In recent years, CJs has dialed up the pinball tables while neglecting the games that matter. Capcom Vs SNK 2, Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, and House of the Dead had issues last time I went. However, they seem to be receiving better treatment as of late, personally I'd prefer more fighting games and Midway sports games. |
| Up Down Arcade Bar - Oklahoma City | Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States | 5/5 | Most of the games here are in great condition, but sans Smash TV, Super Turbo (which I hate) and Carnevil we don't have the cool games others have. MvC2, Gauntlet Dark Legacy and better Neo Geo games are a must. Still, everything is in great condition. |
| Flashback RetroPub OKC | Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States | 4/5 | Flashback is great and all but most of the games had some kind of issue, namely inconsistent controls and monitors that needed a recap. Also there's too many 80s games and a lack of exotic stuff. |
| Level Up Arcade | Guthrie, Oklahoma, United States | 4/5 | The guy who runs LevelUp is very nice, and admittedly I like the location and atmosphere. But quite a few games needed some upkeep; the owner told me he didn't have the time. Still, if all you have in Guthrie is this, you could do so much worse. Plus they have War The Final Assault, so I can't be mad. |

Bally Le Mans Arcade
Permanently Closed-gone |
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States | 4/5 | I don't remember a thing about this arcade; I visited it in 2004 when I was like 9. I do *briefly* recall 3rd Strike and Area 51 Site 4, but LeMans was before my time. Damn shame. |
| Galloping Ghost Arcade | Brookfield, Illinois, United States | 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. |
| Free Play - Richardson | Richardson, Texas, United States | 5/5 | My home away from home. Perfect selection of games, never once have I had issues with games not working. Just needs Guilty Gear and UMK3 and it'd invalidate everything else. |
| Free Play Arlington | Arlington, Texas, United States | 5/5 | Arlington has a killer lineup. War The Final Assault, UMK3, Carnevil, Virtual-On (when we went), 3rd Strike, perfection. |
| Free Play - Dallas | Dallas, Texas, United States | 5/5 | Game selection isn't as killer as the others, but I absolutely love the vibe of Dallas. More candies too so that's a plus. Almost 1CCd their Mushihimesama Futari. |

GameWorks - Grapevine Mills
Permanently Closed-gone |
Grapevine, Texas, United States | 5/5 | Went to this one back in 2003. It was awesome. All I remember was Lost World and that Tekken 3 with mocap. Still awesome for an 8 year old. |
| Pinball Hall of Fame | Las Vegas, Nevada, United States | 4/5 | I went here in 2013 when I was at Evo. Was a cool place but I recall some games being down. I got to play the rare prototype stuff at least. |
