Not including all the console and pc titles which will bring your total # of unique games you can play at Arcade Odyssey to well over 200 +. There are just a handful of classic games, and a ton of weird Japanese imports - some with nary an English word anywhere on them.” There are 63 games currently in the arcade, 3 of them are multigames with a ton of classic titles, such as Pacman, Frogger, Robotron, Missle command, etc, with the 3 multigames, it brings the total # of games you can play in the arcade to 105 different titles. “But Arcade Odyssey isn't all that special. You mentioned a few items in your review that I would like to address here is your review with my replies. I wanted to fall in love with Arcade Odyssey, but I'm not sure it merits a second date. But there wasn't any signage or anything. Did I really need to hear that blaring while I'm playing games? There are several desktop computers available (not sure why) and an area that appears to be set up for console games. There was also someone narrating something over a very loud speaker, but I have no idea where the man with the microphone was, or what the hell he was describing.
