Oklahoma's Flashback Retro Arcade Looks Incredibly Fun

Imagine stepping back in time and hitting the arcade to play some of your favorite video games of all time right here in Oklahoma.

One of the things I think I miss most about the 80s is the legendary arcade. We spent all of our time and money at the local arcade growing up. It was attached to our local skating rink where the old cranky owner/operator/DJ would do his best to trip us up playing skate games like Fall Down and the slow roll. It's now a lumber yard in my hometown.

There's something about those stand-up console units and seeing them all lined up that still excites me even today. Sure gaming on P.C. and home consoles is cool too, but not nearly as cool as the classic arcade units and actually going to the arcade. If I could bring back just one thing from the 1980's it would be the arcade!
