    I'm a big fan of retro game shops, so I was excited to visit this place while staying with a friend…read morein the area. It was a mixed experience. While their selection is decent, the prices are pretty much all on par with or higher than what you can expect to find online for the same items. This is pretty typical for local game shops so I don't hold that against them. However, what was weird was as soon as we walked in, we were apparently on a livestream they were doing. That's kind of weird to be filmed immediately upon entering a business, particularly with no written warning outside. We still walked around inside (thankfully mostly out of camera range), but the employees seemed very intent on their stream and keeping things "interesting" with their commentary. It was overall a pretty off-putting experience, despite the fact that their business otherwise seemed like a cool addition to the local business environment. I would consider returning here again in the future to give them another try, though I have to state the obvious: first impressions are important, and running a business still remains more about the customers in your store than your following online. Overall: 3.0 stars ---- Pros: - Nicely-laid out store with a good presentation. - Prices are pretty on par with most other small retro gaming stores: same/higher prices than online, though still fun to look through and support if you find something you like. - Available street parking outside. Cons: - Walking into an active stream and being on camera without warning might seem quaint considering how online the world is today, but I wasn't a fan. I would have been somewhat more okay with this if they had put up a sign outside about it. Also, their commentary was pretty typical for the online gaming community but a bit off-color for public consumption in terms of professionalism.

    A MAGICAL GEM hidden inside Tuscarawas County, this shop is a tabletop gamer's dream, with a large…read moreselection of merchandise for your favorite games either high-level advanced or fairly simple, like Warhammer, Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, to general strategy games. Best, in back, there's a large area where if you don't eat or drink at the tables, you can sit as long as you like playing any game you like--with even free games there to play. If you like to join leagues there are several competitive ones. Or you can just go sit and play something with friends, or try to meet new friends. Would love to see them create more social "get to know other gamers" events, and maybe add some kind of board or register of "people looking for others to play Game X with" but otherwise, if you're a nerd who enjoys Gaming as a hobby, this is the place. Anything from age 12 to 120 should enjoy this place!

    From the owner: M.A.D. Bros. Games & Hobbies has been offering the best location for gaming in the area since 2013…read more We offer the gaming community a large selection of activities. From casual learn-to-play events to weekly competitive tournaments, we are sure you will find something here to do. So stop on in, make some new gaming friends, and see what our shop has to offer.

    HO. LEE. SHE. IT…read more It took me a while to get here, but I've just been to the best arcade in Ohio. Past Times Arcade is absolutely fantastic. Maybe, just maybe, it's the best arcade that I've been to in the last 40 years! PTA has the largest "open to the public" selection of pinball machines that I've ever seen...this includes the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas and both of the big venues in Pittsburgh. There might be occasional pinball expos, and private collections, where more games are on display...but these are usually not open year round. Rare and cool AF games are everywhere! There are tables from 5, maybe 6, continents! Tables from "every" era in pinball history are represented, IN LARGE NUMBERS, at PTA! And critically, almost all of the games are playable AND are in GREAT CONDITION! I'm not sure how the owner and his team keep this many tables in such good condition, but somehow, it is the case. How about video games? You bet! PTA has over 200 of these. Selection? Lots of rare games and almost all the blockbusters as well. Are they in good condition? Yep. Less than 5 were not operational. Not a single game (that I played) had an issue with the controls or the screen. Amazing. Also cool: There is a fair number (50ish?) of pre-transistor electromechanical games. Many of these were operational, but many, (such a Sega's Periscope) were, unfortunately, not up and running. Still though, it was nostalgic and (maybe even a little) heart warming to see them again. The games are set on "Free Play;" you pay 20 bucks to play all day. You get a wrist band and you can come and go as you please. If you're a kid, it's cheaper. If you're a veteran or a first responder, it's cheaper. Food? Yes. I admit that I didn't eat anything, but the kitchen and diner area sure smelled good! It was also amazing how clean PTA was, even the crapper was spotless. Booze? Yes. I didn't drink but the selection of canned adult beverages looked pretty extensive. Bottom line: I've been to some of the biggest and best arcades (and coin op museums) in the country. Past Times Arcade just might be the best. No shit. 5 Stars.

    Came here for the afternoon with my family and had an absolutely amazing time. There is a game for…read moreeveryone you know in this place - There are SO many!! One price for all day play, which you can't beat anywhere else! Only about an hour from both Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Cafe inside with some fried food items, sodas, beer, and soda floats. We will DEFINITELY be back here!!
