UFO lands in West Campus, is accepting quarters

Coin operated Arcade UFO, which opened Aug. 29, is a humble abode with a lot of heart, and was founded by Ryan Harvey and Crissy Knape who were former regulars of the late Einstein's Arcade, which closed Jan. 1 of this year.

Employees of the new arcade are also former patrons and employees of the late Einstein's.

Located at 3101 Speedway and 31st St., UFO's is there "for your recreational and digressive needs," according to their web site.

In the past, visiting a traditional arcade has probably led to disappointment, due to poor game variety or poor service. Arcade UFO defies the odds with a huge variety of games and great employees with an intrinsic interest in gaming.

Unlike other arcades, Arcade UFO gets new games on a regular basis and repairs any that are defective.

The arcade houses a rotating selection of over 30 games.

Fans of fighter games will surely enjoy Street Fighter IV. Those that prefer shooter games can have fun with Tim Crisis IV, and old-school aficionados can take a trip down memory lane with Super Mario Brothers.

Hard-core gamers, casual gamers, and anyone just looking for something different will surely find something entertaining.

In recent years, traditional arcades have been closing across the country, so UFO is a welcome addition.

Arcade UFO is out of this world.
