Do you remember playing video games back in the 1980s? Pac Man and Donkey Kong ruled the arcade, and movies like Tron, Bladerunner, and E.T. stoked our imaginations and those of the video game creators, who promptly offered us the chance to play games based on the movies.
There’s an arcade soda bar right here in Utah that’s full of retro video games and pinball machines, and you’ll feel like you’re right back in the 1980s the moment you walk in the door.
For a day of fun from the 1980s, head to Flynn’s Retrocade. It’s located in Roy, and it’s open Monday through Saturday from noon to 10 p.m..

Remember the awesome games like Star Wars Cockpit that you could climb inside, sit down, and use the controls? Your kids will love them just as much as you did.
