Player log

High scores from regulars

"Brought my dead N64 in with a fuzzy picture and got it back with a clean HDMI mod in under a week. Playing Ocarina again on the big screen felt like 1998."

"Booked a booth for my partner's birthday and the staff set up a four-player Mario Kart bracket for us. Snacks, CRTs, zero lag — best three hours we've spent in Chinatown."

"I've placed top three in three Thursday Street Fighter nights now. The brackets run on time, the crowd is friendly to newcomers, and the prize pool is a nice bonus."
