3.     Type of Arcade Games/ Theme

Are you an old-timer like me, or have you transitioned into the new age, digital arcade games? And will your friends enjoy the ‘old school’ arcade games, or will they prefer a more modern version? If you’re planning to go ‘old-school,’ you’ll need a slot, pachinko, or even Whac-A-Mole, and Skee-ball machines. That’s the trifecta right there for a perfect birthday.

But these days, you can engage in VR Arcade games using a VR headset and a modern machine. VR arcade games are a bit more immersive than the old school machines, but the effect is the same.
