"Arcade Legends is the only place in Cincinnati (or anywhere near) that is dedicated to classic and current arcade gaming & pinball's. There are NO redemption games taking up space where a little seen gems like Sunset Riders or Michael Jackson's Moonwalker will be. There is, however, a lot of great 80's, 90's and a few 00's arcade games and pinball machines. We also have a GIGANTIC 106" screen that houses current console games and will also be used for tournaments. This weekend we have STREET FIGHTER IV up for play. As if that weren't enough, we also have a couple more console stations and some PCs available for competitive play, internet use and tournaments. Admission is $10 to play ALL GAMES, ALL NIGHT !! OPEN TILL MIDNIGHT

visit www.arcadelegendsohio.com www.myspace.com/arcade_legends for directions and to see our games. (513) 874 - TRON (8766)

We are in need of arcades, pinball's and stools so call us up if you have them and check out our selection of games currently for sale. Also if you need some work on your own arcade give Jay a call at (513) 638-1032"

Both the guys that own this are arcade nuts, and very nice people. Don't be afraid to come alone if you have to. :)

(if posting this was against the rules I apologize I know I've seen some other people post there museums and arcades and tried to see if this type of post was allowed or not. Just trying to help them stay in business and help out some other area arcade/pinball nuts.)

I wish I had known about this place when I was back there to go to King's Island last July. Looks like a nice lineup of classics- Barry
 
Yeah they just opened up in May. :) Next time you're around you should come! It's only about 15 minutes from KI.

This is awesome news since there's a serious lack of good arcades around here. I have relatives in Cincinnati Ohio so I can get there a least a few times a year, and I will be doing so.

So awesome. Thanks for posting this.
 
Awesome I'm glad it's getting some good feedback. :)

I'll be here all day today helping out with the Smash Bros. tournament if they need it. (I despise actually playing smash though)

It's really the greatest example I've seen of old and new school gaming being put together in one place.

I can't think of another single place you can enter a Guitar Hero tournament, get lunch and come back for a Millipede tournament. :)

Also they have 2 rooms setup for console play so if you guys want to bring your kids and are worried the classics won't hold their attention, you can check out guitar hero guitars and a huge selection of console games. (including classics) Street Fighter Alpha 3 is running in the Street Fighter II cabinet for the time being as well. (Probably til after the big tournament day on Nov. 7th.)

Bump for Joust, and Judge Dredd Super Game high score challenges as part of the Nov. 7th Take up the Gauntlets tournament day... (Lot's of fighting game tournaments as well.)
 
awwwww man!!! Sounds awesome. I may have to make drive out there for a day. It's seven hours away from me. Glad to see places like this keeping arcade gaming alive.
 
I think our local gameroom group needs to plan an up/back day trip to this place. In the words of Barney from HIMYM:
That trip would be... LEGENDARY.
 
Let me know what day you guys would probably come. I can talk to the owners and maybe they could do a tournament if you have enough, or something else special.
