In today's adventure we're in Brookfield, Illinois (outside of Chicago) for an inside look at the largest arcade in the world, Galloping Ghost Arcade! Founder, Doc Mack, walks us through the many halls of their record 895+ video arcade machines while sharing some of GGA's history.

WORLD RECORD FOR THEM!!

[@jayly7453]

Takes me back to when the arcade was the place to be , fun time ❤️

[@fanatic8666]

I've been here several times, it's great

[@funacrossamerica]

We agree!!

[@bruceaskew2107]

It's definitely a fantastic place to spend the day

[@goodomenio]

what a cool spot

[@KenMasters.]

I had an idea for my ultimate "dream arcade" of my own that only heaven can afford. It's a tall and wide building called "Pagoda of Games" (influenced off of the film Game of Death) where every floor feels like time-traveling back into the past decades. • The ground floor is a food court, indoor go-kart track, Evo-type Tournaments, and it has 2020s arcade machines such as Street Fighter 6 Type Arcade. • The 1st floor is a red room that has every arcade machine from the 2010s. • The 2nd floor is a silver room that has every arcade machine from the 2000s. • The 3rd floor is a blue room that has every arcade machine from the 1990s. • The 4th floor is a purple room that has every arcade machine from the 1980s. (Golden-Age games on the left side, Platinum-Age games on the right.) • The 5th floor is an orange room that has every arcade machine from the 1970s. • And the roof-top is green and is a mini-golf, batting range and sports center.

I'm in! As your first supporter i want a lifetime pass lol. I won't live close so it's ok😂😂😂

[@BrettJerome]

Looks like my kind of spot!!

[@funacrossamerica]

We'd recommend it! 😎

[@tomg0]

Wow this is incredible

[@funacrossamerica]

We agree!!

[@Timothyapollo220]

I miss this😌

[@DidYouReadEULA]

They are doing great work preserving the history...thanks for the walkthrough.

[@funacrossamerica]

Couldn't agree more! Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@daakrolb]

I only live like 3 hours drive away. I gotta make a weekend of this soon.

[@funacrossamerica]

You definitely should!

[@Misanola]

Galloping Ghost is a galactic treasure

[@funacrossamerica]

It really is! Can't wait to go back

[@bruceaskew2107]

Save it at all cost 🤣💯

[@dank850]

Imagine trying to maintain that many arcades

[@djddog5_hiphoptappjazzclub42]

Funspot up in New Hampshire also claims to be "The largest arcade in the world".

[@arcademania7544]

Largest as far as acreage! They got rid of a lot of their older games, that weren't making money. Doc has the world record for "the most" games.

[@bruceaskew2107]

I love galloping ghost as a Chicagoan I take my son atleast once every couple of months

[@funacrossamerica]

We would definitely go more often if we lived closer!

[@bruceaskew2107]

@@funacrossamerica I'm sure brother 💯

[@kbkingdom2855]

Wow I’m only an hour and half away on my way immediately!!!!

[@andrewschumm1848]

It’s Better Than Bowlero and Dave and Busters in 2023!!! Thanks for uploading it.

[@funacrossamerica]

Thank you for watching!

[@DiegoDiablo]

How does he make a profit and stay in business with all that overhead?

[@cruisetheautisticboy994]

Free arcade gameplay?

[@funacrossamerica]

You have to pay to get in, but all games are free after that!

[@Snoopy_cuh]

I live five blocks away

[@arcademania7544]

Thanks to emulation, I can have ALL of these games, in one cabinet. Nice place though. 👍

[@TheBigExclusive]

You are missing out on the full experience for a lot of these games. Playing lightgun games with a computer mouse is horrible. 😂.

[@anthonyotoole8737]

Johns Arcade the authority on this stuff disagrees that this is the largest arcade

[@Ryan-ob6gp]

Sounds like a claim that needs a citation to me...
