Kinda sad to see how their Arcade has dwindled in recent years. Not sure how it currently looks in 2026, but I remember going to Oskar Blues as a kid around 2012-2013 and it had a profound impact on me. Played many classic games my dad always talked about when he was a kid, and I played many first times here. The machines I remember being there was: Tron, Paperboy, Qbert, Frogger, Tetris, Dig Dug, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, Centipede, Joust, Spy Hunter, Defender, & Gauntlet.

Playing Tron, Paper Boy, QBert, & Spy Hunter for the first time was amazing. Not to mention Joust, as that’s still my favorite video game from the era.

It was a small basement arcade that somehow fit so many machines, I’m sure I’m forgetting some too, but genuinely is a core memory for me and the kind of collection I strive to attain for when I create my arcade one day!

Hey friends, I’m on the hunt for a location in the Colorado Area of a restaurant/bar that had a really cool vintage arcade. Timeframe is 2010-2015 and likely around Fort Collins, Aurora, or Denver. This info is important to me because A. it’s driving me nuts I cannot remember the name of it, and B. It is a core memory for me as a 12 year old playing Tron, Frogger, Paper Boy, Spy Hunter, Defender, & Joust for the first time and the experience has stuck with me for the rest of my life.

Notable features of the place was their delicious chicken wings (specifically habanero hot wings!), life size blues brothers statues by the entrance, and then this winding staircase going down to a basement with one of the best arcade lineups as a kid in the 2010s. I also remember it being black lights and neon on walls and carpet.

I’d genuinely love to find the name of the place and if they’re still around with that killer arcade and if anyone has some old pics/vids of it from the past!

Hey y’all, thought you’d get a kick out of this catchy song, ‘Bad Decisions At Buc-ee’s’ my friend wrote. His band is called Snak Pak.
