Arcade Paradise

[Algonquin Assassin]

Just wondering has anyone heard of or played this game?

 

I’ve been playing it on my Switch the last few days a day been having an absolute blast.

 

Basically it’s set in the 90s and you’re working at your father’s laundromat while you’re also building an arcade. You start off with a couple of machines in a dingy backroom and buy/expand over time.

 

It’s a light management sim and the way you earn money early on is working in the laundromat by doing laundry, cleaning up etc. It’s not as bad as it sounds though as everything is treated like it’s a mini game if that makes sense.

 

I just love the whole aesthetic. Makes me think of the 90s all over again when arcades were really popular. The cool thing is all the games can be played. They’re not real games of course, but take inspiration from real ones. For instance there’s this game called Racer Chaser and it’s some kind of weird Pac Man/GTA1 hybrid lol. Works really good though.
