Timeline Arcade is a retro arcade in downtown York. Parking depends on the time of day with options…read moreon both the street and local garages, but don't be surprised if you have to walk a few blocks. Timeline is like most current retro arcades, you pay X amount per hour for unlimited plays, and you pay when entering. The entry fee for an hour is very reasonable. The arcade is reasonably large and is spread across two rooms. Selection includes retro arcade machines, pinball machines, consoles, and other gaming items. Timeline does get newer Stern pinball machines like JAWS and Star Wars: Fall of the Empire, on top of a handful of older machines like Spy Hunter and White Water. The selection of general arcade machines is good, with machines like Spy Hunter, Coors Light Bowling, Rampage World Tour, and Revolution X catching my interest. Several TV's and couches are available for console gaming. Timeline has some problems however. They need to more clearly define the BYOB policy in its public facing information. From experience, BYOB here means "mancan/tallboy" sized drinks IE larger cans. The bigger issue is the machine maintenance problems which have gotten worse over time. I've run into several issues with machines not working, and during my last visit a bunch in the back room were out of order. Some of the machines at Timeline are clearly B or C grade machines, and simply do not play as better examples would. Is Timeline still worth a visit? Yes. It remains one of the better retro arcades in Pennsylvania, but there are better out there including in surrounding states like New Jersey.

There's a great set of old sofas and chairs in the back, with retro consoles hooked up to those huge televisions like your grandparents had... I could have played those if they had any games that had appealed, but my first console was a n64 and they didn't have one of those. No nostalgia for me. Jeremy found the place overly loud so we left before our time ran out. There was a saint Patrick's Day parade going on right out front, since the arcade is on Yorks main Street. I suppose our other friends enjoyed themselves, but I didn't see them play any game for longer than 5 minutes. I think we're officially too old.

Maybe need more staff for the weekends because it got a little crazy the later it got with people running around and running into each other. People not getting off the lanes until 15 minutes after their times were up which eats into the next groups time.

Well... we were TOLD to use those coupon that we purchased online that it was our responsibility to call to inform them that we were going to use coupon.

We also had asked about bumpers and we were told only certain ages qualify which we had 1 that did and was only one asking we were again told to make that one the first bowler and would automatically have bumpers. Yup you can already guess, no bumpers and no apologies for not doing their job. Never saw anyone who could have been manager to even inquire about any type of compensation for poor service

This year (and this weekend) I get to attend this great show - the White Rose Gameroom Show!!! This event is being held at the York Fairgrounds on Oct 11 -12, 2007. It's the 11th Annual run for this event. $15.00 adults $5 children ages 6-12 Free for Kids 5 and younger (All prices are per person, per day) There should be over 100 machines available to play (for FREE!) I love these overwhelming shows of pinball madness! At these shows you get to see the best preserved and rare machines all in one place. I can't wait... Earlier this month I attended the 1st Annual Pacific Pinball Expo in San Rafael, CA (see: http://www.yelp.com/biz/GQQVnGOjjkHQx_kav4ysrA#hrid:_8wTmxmdJ-MUp5rah-V-mg ) and had a blast.

Street parking is available, and it is an easy walk even from around the corner. One of the noticeable things is the new location's building is in much better condition. There are almost certainly less books for sale now, but it's also less crowded, and everything is much more organized. Books are located on both levels of the shop, and they have one of the larger used selections you'll find at an independent shop. Other media for sale also include various movies and comic books. If you like independent used bookshops, this is worth a stop.

Although we had a decent time, I thought the employee working the front desk needs a lesson in customer service . He literally just seemed like he hates his job and/or people . People come out for a good time , not for you to kill the whole vibe with your attitude. I appreciate that there was a bar tender walking around so we didn't have to stop our game to go get drinks in that smokey bar. Overall, we had good just being together and doing something fun. I would suggest updated music to really get it jumping !

This is my first time coming to this particular theater, and it had some highs and lows. The pros…read morefirst, it has an IMAX theater, which is very well-maintained, as well as an RCX theater, which has laser projection, and the best seats in the theater. There is a sizable arcade as you walk in to entertain children, young and old. The food selection at the concession stands was above just the usual, popcorn, soda, and candy. A few cons, the check-in process is very cumbersome. The box office is at the front entrance as soon as you walk in near the arcade, but then you have to walk down the hill to get to the main theater lobby. At the bottom of the hill is an attendant to take your ticket stubs or check your phones, which causes a long backup between the attendant in the box office. From there, you go directly into the concession lines or to your theater, but because of the bottleneck in the entranceway, the concession line gets backed up as well. Between the two bottlenecks, on a busy Friday night or Saturday, you can spend 30 minutes or more between the front door and getting your popcorn before you can make it to your theater. I have looked at some of the other theaters other than the IMAX and the RCX, and some of the seats in some of the smaller locations are starting to show some wear and age. It's a little overpriced for the area, but the general experience isn't that bad. 4 out of 5 for me.
