Arcade Paradise exists in a nebulous time period. However, I did discover that a lot of what is on offer isn’t nearly as bad as I feared. Indeed, you’re not going to find a game that can stand tall next to Final Fight in Arcade Paradise’s mix. Arcade Paradise A living monolithĬompilations of previously non-existent games usually don’t work out unless it’s Retro Game Challenge or The Dread X Collection. It smartly has meters tied to nearly everything you do, so that sense of progression is always feeding into your dopamine receptors. This is a chill, relaxed game that lets you ramp up the stress to make more money if you want, but it’s never a requirement. It can feel a bit slow to start but once you realize there is no real penalty for ignoring the laundry side of things when you’d rather be playing games it clicked. Eventually, I barely had to touch anything in the laundromat, and I was earning thousands per day as time passed by. You have a large number of tasks that you have to do manually to start and over time you’ll use your dad’s funding to automate them. The whole setup of the game mirrors that of the best idle clickers. Quickly though you’ll notice a few old arcade machines in a back room and that starts you down the path of transforming this simple, unassuming laundromat into the most happening Arcade the city has seen in a long time. Another daily task is cleaning up all the trash left behind by your degenerate customers and bringing it over to the dumpster outside turns into yet another fun minigame. Everything goal you achieve earns a pop-up pixelated video game style fanfare that is both humorous and damned cool looking. Immediately I was struck by the style of the UI. You’ll begin your days focused on getting loads of clothes into and out of washers and dryers as quickly as possible to earn cash.

You are Ashley, and your rich British dad has forced you into working in the family’s old and rundown laundromat. Everything from the look and feel of the arcades, to using the latest PC connected to the mind-blowing dial-up connection, all have been recreated with pure love. If you could smell this game, it would smell like memories. Soundtrack worthy of the cassette collection From the individual games to choosing what song to put on the jukebox inspired by some of the great records of the early 90s, the soundtrack captures the heart of a bygone era.
