As far as I'm concerned, this place is a must see in Miami no matter where you live in South Florida. And for those that like Japanese Anime there are flat screen TV's all around the place showing movies and you can also enjoy a Ramune Japanese soda with a cleverly designed glass marble as the bottle seal and a box of spicy Japanese potato sticks along with traditional Japanese candy. And the best part is they rotate their games every month so it never feels stale and never gets boring. And you can play video games only seen in Japan which is really cool when you belly up to a machine that has the original pricing of 100 Yen per play. But what makes this place unique and not just another Video Arcade is the attention to detail and the fact that all of the games are in excellent working condition which is a rarity at most places with video games. Now there's many, many more games to chose from. And of course the ubiquitous Street Fighter series video games are always the consummate crowd-pleaser. And let's not forget the room dedicated to network connected PvP games with rumble seats where fans of Call of Duty can congregate to show off their skills. Then there's the Terminator pinball machines which are a lot of fun to play. You have the first person shoot'em ups like House of the Dead killing zombies and the like. You have the classic arcade games for those that grew up playing games like Pac-Man, Robotron, Burgertime and Joust, and there's the rider simulation games like the Sega Wave Runner, Nascar Car Racing and Tsumo Ball which I call the "Red Dome Battleship" artillery game. This spot boasts an impressive collection of arcade machines and provides a gaming experience that you simply cannot find anywhere else in South Florida. Now, there's a little bit of something for everyone. Arcade Odyssey is a rarity in our modern age, feeling more like a place pulled from the 90s than anything from the 2020s. This is a place that will appeal to everyone from video game purists to little kids to big kids to parents with kids and even those that are a kid at heart. And sadly, those places disappeared until now! The "True" Video Arcade experience is back at Arcade Odyssey and does not disappoint. When I was growing up in Miami there were video arcades all over the place in the late 70's, 80's and into the early 90's from stand alone locations to places in the mall to Pizza Parlors and Laundromats. What a cool arcade!!! This is the one and only "True" Classic/Modern Video Arcade out there that I know of in South Florida. I paid my first visit to Arcade Odyssey yesterday and WOW! was I pleasantly surprised.
