According to its only Yelp review, by Justin H. of Toronto (I swear this isn’t me!): “This is a review of the hurricane machine located in the The Beaches Alliance Cinema. I think it would be unfair if I rated the cinema based on my experience in the Hurricane Machine … it was not great. Waste of $2.” The review is from 2012, so who knows if this machine is still there, or if there are any video game arcade machines there with it.
No. 10 – Bento Miso
Now Gamma Space (since at least 2016!), this business bills itself as a “nonprofit arts-focused space for working, playing and learning.” Might be best described as a video game-focused coworking space. $295 a month gets you storage, access and meeting room time. They do have day passes, but that doesn’t make this an arcade.
No. 19 – Arcade Classics
These guys will sell you an arcade cabinet. You’ll need more than quarters. From their Yelp page: “All our classic arcade machines for sale are certain to provide you with an unforgettable gaming experience.” Sure – but you don’t call a car dealership when you can’t get through to the taxi company.
No. 17 – Games on Wheels
This company will bring video games to you in a large trailer for parties and events. The website suggests it won’t bring arcade games, though – you’ve got couches, TVs and consoles. (FYI, it has just two Yelp reviews and they’re both awful.)
No. 45 – Bingo World
It’s in Richmond Hill and as far as I can tell it is a bingo hall that has no arcade machines. It does however have free parking.
No. 40 – Nations
I believe this is a grocery store. Yelp doesn’t have anything else near Toronto called Nations, and “Nations arcade” near Toronto gives no results. I’ve never been to the St. Clair Ave. location but I’ve been to the Hamilton one many times and there are no arcade cabinets there. They have some weird imported Asian snacks though.
No. 6 – Maybe
I would love to know what this is. My best guess is a Lebanese place at Eglinton and Mount Pleasant called Maybes Restaurant. I’ve never been but the reviews say nothing about arcade machines and Yelp gives the noise level as “quiet.” (Is this a listing for an arcade? Maybe!) Outside chance this is supposed to be Mayze, an escape room that bills itself as also being an arcade, which is also on the Casper list at No. 66.
No. 51 – Sewmatic Corporation
Probably was a sewing company but it’s not like I can find out. It has a blank Yelp page that lists it as an arcade. A government document that comes up on Google suggests the company was dissolved in 2008 (!) but doesn’t tell me if it sold sewing machines or was an arcade.
Oh yeah, and it’s in Markham.
No. 44 – Toronto
I don’t even know what to say about this. I search "Toronto" in Yelp and get stuff like the CN Tower. I search "Toronto arcade" in Yelp and don’t get anything with Toronto in the name. There’s a Kensington Market place called Toronto VR Games at No. 12 on the list, so this can’t be that. But what is it?
Well, I don't know what it is, or what a number of these are. If you do, feel free to email me using the form below.
