I was so relieved to find a very well kept, exciting, safe, arcade in Folsom! It's a hidden gem! I…read morewas afraid my kids would want to go to Chuck E Cheese, but was thrilled to find this arcade on Yelp. The employee who worked yesterday made my daughter's 7th birthday so magical, they put her name on the screens and made her feel so special. My kids (ages 4 and 7) had plenty of choices for games and even got some high scores. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for having such a nice spot for families in the Folsom area!

They have DDR, ball drop, ski ball, and some shooting games like Jurassic Park. Their ski ball is pretty cool because it has a screen over it with fish. If you get the ball in a hole with a fish hovering over it, you get extra points. I only saw one employee there. He greeted me as I was loading up the game card. The price of the games were a bit much. Each game is 30-35 credits and $15 only got me about 200 credits. This left me with 10 credits left over that couldn't be used on any game. Not sure if they have a prize area since it was adding up my electric tickets (from winning games) on the game card. I didn't see one there.

Among all the amazing small businesses in Sacramento, 1-Up Retro is probably the one nearest and…read moredearest to me and my son's heart. I grew up in the golden era of gaming, the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s when weekends meant blowing into dusty cartridges, late-night multiplayer battles, and flipping through Game Informer magazines dreaming about the next big release. Those games weren't just entertainment, they were core memories of my childhood. Now, seeing my son discover and fall in love with those same games and magazines has been something really special. Ever since we moved to Sacramento a few years ago, every visit to 1-Up has felt like stepping into a real-life time machine. The moment you walk in, you're surrounded by nostalgia, memories, and pure joy. Whether it's seeing shelves packed with retro classics or spotting consoles you haven't touched in 20+ years, it instantly takes you back. The owner and staff are all incredibly cool, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about gaming history. I'm always blown away by the little-known facts and stories they know about these old-school titles. You can tell this isn't just a business to them, it's something they truly love. Special shoutout to Travis for the amazing customer service and for hooking my son up with a PS2 Slim in fantastic working condition. Seriously, where else can you walk in today and find a retro console like that, fully functional, along with a huge selection of games ready to relive those memories? I would love nothing more than to see businesses like 1-Up continue to succeed and thrive in the face of online competition. Places like this keep the memories, community, and fun alive for old gamers and new generations alike. Sacramento is lucky to have them. Game over? Not here at 1-Up, the memories just keep hitting "Continue."

This is a friendly large vintage game store. The garage door entrance is a nice touch to the…read moreoverall feel of a store visit. I found so many items I wanted to buy. They carry video games from a plethora of consoles. They also have collectibles, box/collector sets, videos, etc. Long story short, I left with a pile of goodies. I thought the store was spacious to walk around with other people around. The displays were great. I liked how they converted an old grocery store veggie stand into a display on the right side. The only bummer is the tape and stickers used on the merchandise. I bought some mint in box items and the sticker price tag was so hard to peel off. It left a very bad sticky residue. I was able to clean it off most of the items. But, I worried that the paper boxes would be damaged if I used a solution. The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions. I enjoyed the little lounge area in the front right while waiting for friends to checkout.

There is a bar in the front room and a 2nd bar in the back but I'm not sure if they use that one since I usually go at slower times and there hasn't been a bartender at the 2nd one. I love that they have TVs; I've come here a few times for drinks and seeing the Kings game while hanging with my friends was a nice surprise. The prices are good and I love that they serve food as well. The bathrooms are always clean and there's plenty of street parking. Thanks!

That's what the patrons seemed to be doing with we were there. I ordered the chicken strips and fries. They were standard but hot and fresh. The bartenders were welcoming and attentive. I can definitely see why the lounge was voting as one of the best places in Sacramento to watch a game.

She explained what they had to offer, prices and during that my daughter said she was thirsty so Jenny then walked us over to an area that had a few tables and many cold drinks to choose from. There are many arcade games there that I have not ever seen before, that was very cool and very fun. The mini golf course was beyond awesome. I did not expect what I saw at all. Our next trip there we are going to try the virtual reality and we cannot wait! All in all this place was amazing with the employees and all they and the place had to offer. ***Two thumbs up/A+++/five stars***

The large bounce house section also caught the kids' attention and they spent a lot of time there. A few things could be improved though. The cleanliness was questionable. The hand sanitizer stations were empty and the bathrooms were pretty gross. With this many kids running around, those areas should really be kept up better. The biggest issue was the pizza for the party. We were not told we needed to request a different cut to make more slices for the kids. The pizza came out in large slices that could feed two kids each, but there were not enough slices for the number of children at the table. If the host had mentioned the party cut option, it would have made feeding everyone much easier. Overall the kids still had fun because there is a lot to do here, but better communication and better cleanliness would improve the experience

And I never failed having someone ask me for a friendly game of pool while I was practicing by myself over here. They have plenty of pool tables in great condition and I would spend a lot of time here because the rates are ridiculously cheap since I was a student. I could practice for hours and my wallet wouldn't hurt afterwards. I miss this place.
