Flynn's arcade

[AustinTink]

Hi,

My DH is wanting to visit Flynn's arcade while we're in DCA. Can you tell me if it's token based game play. If so, how much are the tokens, i.e. 4 for a dollar, etc.

Also, how much do the games cost? Thanks for any info. My husband is a big arcade fan. So much so that he buys and fixes non-working arcade machines as a hobby. He's really looking forward to visiting Flynn's.

We went there last summer. It was fun to walk in to an arcade from the 80's with the music playing. Just like being a teenager again! They have tokens 4 for a dollar. My DH played some games, and I kept one token because it says Flynn's on it. The games were one token each. There may have been a couple that were several, but most were one.

For the most it is a 25 cent token.

When you get FPs in DCA you may get a bonus ticket which you can exchange for one Flynn's token.

Here is a post with some pictures inside Flynn's.

If your husband is a fan of classic video games, he should attend California Extreme.
Short notice for this year, but it's an annual event

My DH is hoping to take a lot of them home. I guess that's why he wanted to know the price. He wants to make the tokens work with his arcade machines.

That's so cool about the FP machines. You learn something new everyday on the DIS!!
