I love high scores! Games are always changing but it stays $10 an hour. They also just started selling beer!

Very unique old school video arcade located in Alameda's busiest commercial district. Pay for unlimited plays for a certain amount of time. Decent selection of games range from the oldies like centipede and Pac-Man and Tron up to somewhere more modern racing and fighting games. Not enough space for the big crowd-pleasing games that you would find at Santa Cruz boardwalk, for example. They have a few cabinets with dozens of games you can select from on ROMs. It is small and has a couple of seats and a bathroom in the back. Parking is difficult on park street, but you can easily find parking for pay or free a few blocks down.

Wonderful place to take the family and revive my video game glory! The staff does a fantastic job of keeping up the arcade cabinets. We spend hours here every time we visit Alameda! "I love High Scores Arcade...it's so baaaad" ;)

The value of this place is amazing. Great place to game with some friends or even a fun date. The really cool factor is that you can get your name on the high score board. They have monthly high scores and all time.
