ABC57 Road Trip: Galloping Ghost Arcade

Welcome to Galloping Ghost Arcade! The Brookfield, Illinois destination first opened in 20-10 with 130 machines. But, over a decade later, and players can find 862 games to choose from.
The arcade has every type of game you can imagine. Whether you are looking for the classic games from the mid to late 70s to the popular ones of the 2000’s - they have them all! Doc Mack first opened the galloping ghost production company back in 19-94 to design video games, but as him and his team saw arcades on the decline, they knew they had to intervene.
For Galloping Ghost Arcade, the goal is to preserve the childhood fun for many, while also introducing gaming for the generations to come. The arcade operates on a ‘free play model’ meaning you pay for entry then can pick any games of your choosing!

"...first opened in 2010 with just 130 machines...." JUST 130 machines....which is already bigger than any arcade I have ever played in

I like how they said he opened with 130 like that's not already one of the bigger arcades in the world

It's still on my bucket list to make my way out there. Someday.... I must say I do enjoy the coverage my rare holy grail game got in this broadcast.
