Arcade tips for Yogyakarta

The regulars' rules for Yogyakarta's arcades:

• Go off-peak at Timezone. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
• Check age policies at KlikStart_Playstation. Some arcades are all-ages by day and 19+ at night, especially the bar-arcade hybrids. Check before bringing kids.
• The classics are cheapest. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Test the controls before committing. Joysticks drift, buttons stick, guns misalign. One test credit saves a wasted game.
