The Retro Arcade

Overview

Until Thursday, November 15, Garden City shopping centre is stepping back in time — but you won't need a telephone booth, tardis or DeLorean to get there. Instead, this blast from the past is all about the retro games and just generally feeling nostalgic.

After the centre's Old School Cool event was such a hit, you can keep mashing buttons until the end of the month. Play pinball, bust out your best Dance Dance Revolution moves in a floor-to-ceiling neon arcade, and get competitive playing the original Mario Kart — or try your hand at Pac Man and Donkey Kong as well.

Entry to the neon space is free, although you will have to pay to play. Bring your change, as each game will set you back $1 per turn.
