Classic, bar-arcade, retro: the three flavours

Classic arcades are all-ages and game-first. Bar-arcades mix drinks with cabinets and skew adult in the evenings. Retro venues curate the old cabinets lovingly and often run the best-maintained floors. All three count here, and the best arcade towns have all three.

Apalachicola sits about 30° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Arcades are gloriously weatherproof, and winter is peak season: when it's dark at five, the neon looks its best and the floors are busiest.

When Apalachicola's arcades do get mapped, check the websites for tournament nights and free-play evenings — that's where the real value is.

Arcade smarts for Apalachicola

No mapped arcades yet, but the arcade skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Don't feed a broken machine. If it eats your credit without starting, tell staff immediately. Good venues refund; all venues should know.
• Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
• Ask about tournaments. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.
• The classics are cheapest. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.

The kind of venue that belongs here

Somewhere you walk in to play: rows of cabinets, pinball, racing seats. Not two machines in a hallway — a real floor of games.
