The Best Vintage Arcade Games in Bloomington IL

Apr 16

Calling all arcade game lovers—do you dream of going back to the 80s or 90s, where all your favorite games were gathered in one place? While you might find one of the classics here or there in various arcades, it’s a real treat when you can enjoy them all at your fingertips!

It’s not just a dream if you live in Bloomington, IL—you can find some of the BEST vintage arcade games when you book a stay at House of Games, conveniently located just off I-55.

Whether you want an unforgettable place to stay during your travels, or if you’re a local who wants a one-of-a-kind party venue, we can accommodate your needs. Here are some fan-favorite arcade games you’ll find right here (book now to reserve your spot).

Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man

Would it really be a vintage arcade without at least one version of this iconic classic. We overdid it and we have both of these arcade games, so you can level up to your heart’s content. And if you really love it, you can stay the night in the Pac-Man-themed bedroom with an original mural and matching linens. (Usually kids like it but some adults do too!)

Star Wars Pinball

There’s pinball and then there’s Star Wars Pinball. It arguably has the best sound effects, gameboard, and overall theming when it comes to pinball. And you don’t have to wait in line or spend all of your quarters since this is a free-play arcade in a private venue.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Was this your favorite TV show, favorite arcade game, or both? We love the experience of the full standing game console as it can play up to four people—each with their own colored joystick and buttons to guide Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo, or Raphael. You can work as a team to beat Shredder, save April, and master the streets of New York while eating pizza along the way.

Shooting Games

Shooting arcade games are must-have components of vintage arcades, and Big Buck Hunter is one of the best. Grab your neon-colored rifle with a buddy and rack up the biggest, uh, rack. Or, if you prefer sci-fi, jump into Terminator 2 to save the world by terminating all the bad guys.

Street Fighter II

Enter the unforgettable world of video game martial arts with this beloved 90s arcade game. At House of Games you’ll find it on an original PlayStation, but like you’ve never seen it before on a 55” inch screen. It’s just one of the many classics you’ll find in our classic video game console room, in addition to 10 standing arcade games.
