High Scores Arcade - Video arcade in Alameda - 1414 Park St, USA

Very unique old school video arcade located in Alameda's busiest commercial district. Pay for unlimited plays for a certain amount of time. Decent selection of games range from the oldies like centipede and Pac-Man and Tron up to somewhere more modern racing and fighting games. Not enough space for the big crowd-pleasing games that you would find at Santa Cruz boardwalk, for example. They have a few cabinets with dozens of games you can select from on ROMs. It is small and has a couple of seats and a bathroom in the back. Parking is difficult on park street, but you can easily find parking for pay or free a few blocks down.

This quaint little place is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. It’s a straight throwback to my childhood with dozens of retro games that I haven’t seen since the 80’s. If you are going to go make sure to bring a friend or parent who loves retro games because you will blow their minds and will absolutely make their day.

Wonderful place to take the family and revive my video game glory! The staff does a fantastic job of keeping up the arcade cabinets. We spend hours here every time we visit Alameda! "I love High Scores Arcade...it's so baaaad" ;)

If you're looking for an opportunity to revisit your childhood, share your childhood experience with your children, or just experience a legendary interactive arcade museum, this is the place to be! 👍👍👍

This place is such a gem. Older arcade games and affordable cost! They have a machine that has a variety of games including my favorite, Bubble Bobble! Took my teenager there and she was mesmerized. Pay in cash, and no outside food. The attendant was incredibly helpful.

An awesome place to experience retro games. Great selection and variety and the vibe is pretty chill and relaxed. Highly recommend

A fun trip back to the 80s - restored classic arcade games on free play and a jukebox playing period-correct tunes. Great atmosphere, all-ages. Good value for $6/hr admission. Edit: 11/2023 - price increased (but that's happening everywhere). They have changed up their lineup some, including a couple of custom built arcade games. Oregon trail & super smash bros! Still a great value and a ton of fun.

The value of this place is amazing. Great place to game with some friends or even a fun date. The really cool factor is that you can get your name on the high score board. They have monthly high scores and all time.
