UFO machines/claw games are a favorite hobby of hubby's and mine. We've gone through several in…read morethe past (e.g., southern California, Taiwan, Japan), and can appreciate Octmon's presence in Richmond. We came by on a Friday afternoon and purchase the $20 package for (if I remember correctly) 105 "points" to play with. Each machine can take anywhere from 12 to 21 (there may be a higher cost one that we missed) "points" for each attempt. I will say that we VERY quickly went through the $20, and the hubby ended up getting another $20 reload and asked if one of the games could be reset. The employee was very nice and helped reset the game, and we were (eventually) able to win one of the plushes! It's a clean area, and it seems to be a favorite for groups of friends and couples. The plushes are cute, and some are available for purchase (if you just have to have it!). I wouldn't mind going back again, though my heart dropped each time the claw grabbed the toy and immediately dropped it instead of moving to the chute with it. :') It's in the Aberdeen Centre, 2nd story!

This location is within walking distance from the Canada Line Aberdeen station, and is across from…read morethe Asian mall Parker Place. Parking could be hard to find as it was a shared parking lot. I came here to experience my very first VR recently with a group. I was extremely excited as I've heard a lot about VR; however, I was also a little hesitant because I did not have any gaming cells in my body. Upon entering the place, I was a little surprised at how "unadorned" the place and the booths looked. This wasn't what I had seen at the other VR places I have had site visits at. We were each placed in a booth. The Asian staff (the only one there) gave us some pointers, set up our equipment on our heads, and told us to follow the "tutorial" and navigate around the system first. Reasons for my 1-star: 1) Upon putting on my headset, I immediately noticed how blurry my view was, and it was blurry the entire time. I had to tilt my head at times to see if I could see better from certain angles. No such luck. I had expected it to be high definition or at least clear? 2) The tutorial itself was so useless. It didn't help at all with the game that we played after. It was also pre-programmed and gave me a "good job" even during the times I didn't do what was asked. 3) The staff was extremely unpleasant. It was my first VR (I was sure I wasn't not the only one) and it took me a little longer to get the hang of what I should be doing for the game. He pulled aside my headset and started yelling at me, how I wasn't supposed to do this and that, blah blah blah. I also heard a loud impatient sigh after his yelling. He made me feel so STUPID. Because of this negative feeling (plus how blurry it was), I didn't really have fun afterwards. Once I was done, I stood around the booths to watch other people play. One of the people we came with said "I was watching you and you were hilarious! I saw him yelling at you. That was not nice at all! He was also yelling at XYZ as well." Another person came and commented how blurry it was. We both concluded that it wasn't "user problem." Guess this place didn't have state of the art technology. I could see how VR would be a total out of this world experience. Unfortunately, both the technology and the customer service at Breakout VR did not offer such an experience.

We went for the All-you-can-eat Wings at the Rec Room on a Monday night and we were pleasantly…read moresurprised! We got to choose from breaded or non-breaded and a few different flavours of wings like Salt & Pepper, Smokey BBQ, Sweet Heat, and Spicy Buffalo. It was about a 20-30 minute wait for the wings so we did find it a bit long. The service was average and nothing notable. But when the wings did arrive, they were served with a ranch dipping sauce and it was hot & fresh! We got a few more rounds afterwards (that didn't look or weren't plated as nicely but still tasted good) and enjoyed it a lot. It was $25 for AYCE wings but it also included a $10 credit to play any of their arcade games. That's a pretty good deal in our opinions! We'd likely return for more wings if we feel like eating abnormal amounts again!

There is a bar area and two pool tables but this is mostly for kids. There is archery but it's very digital and lame.

This could be good for kids between 8-12 ideally for birthday party or teenagers one. Date

If you're truly interested in spending upwards of $2000 on a retro pinball machine, you're probably…read moretoo busy partying it up in your mansion to spend time on the internet looking through business directories for personal testimonies. But if you've made it this far, let me tell you about the magical and prehistoric collector's items available at John's Jukes. First and foremost are the Jukeboxes, old delightful automated DJ machines that take everything from loonies to nickels. One of the Jukeboxes is fashioned to look like the back of a hot pink convertible, perfect for making your living room look like Pop Tate's Soda Shop in Archie Comics. Most of the other ones can be summed up by referencing the opening montage for Happy Days. There is also a wide variety of pinball machines, with every co-opted franchise from Star Wars to Kiss, and a few video game consoles that have been manhandled by fastidious fingers for over 40 years. But it's a high price to pay for nostalgia, with items ranging from several hundred dollars to several thousand. If you do miss Frogger that much though, it's the right place to go, just make sure that you have a truck nearby so you don't have to maneuver the console through traffic.

Now, I am not a pinball game player, nor am I a jukebox expert, but I love the way they look in a large living room or a retro restaurant. And this place has some of the more unique items. From brightly decorated machines that play music the old-world ways (with coins) to pinball machines that cost a few thousand dollars, this travel time back to more beautiful days gone by is worth a visit.
