Скачать или смотреть Inside Pasadena’s Retro Arcade (No Quarters Needed)

What started as a small weekend hobby in a garage turned into one of Pasadena’s coolest retro gaming spots. In this video, I sit down with the owners of Neon Retro Arcade to hear the story of how Mark and Mia went from restoring old arcade machines to opening a full arcade packed with classic games.

Inside the arcade you’ll find around 40–50 retro machines, including fan favorites like Street Fighter II and Q*bert. The best part? Everything is set to free play — no quarters needed. Just pay for your time and jump into pure nostalgia.

We talk about how the arcade started, what it takes to keep 40+ year old machines running, and why this place has become a favorite hangout for families, gamers, and anyone looking to relive the golden age of arcades.

If you love retro gaming, classic arcades, or discovering unique local businesses around Los Angeles, this is a spot you’ll definitely want to check out.
