Cool Spaces: Arcade game classics at The Game Preserve
Check out The Game Perserve for more that 126 classic arcade games.

SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Pinball and Skee-Ball are just a few of more than 125 classic games families can enjoy at The Game Preserve in Spring.

Located at 475 Sawdust Rd., The Game Preserve is the result of five serious arcade game collectors joining forces to create a rotating display of fun from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

"We pride ourselves on being family oriented," said Rusty Key, one of the owners. "We have a family environment where you can have fun at a reasonable cost."

Rather than operating on coins and tokens, all the games are on free-play mode. The Game Preserve allows customers to re-live their youth by offering a $15 day pass of unlimited play, or a monthly membership at $35 per person or $70 for an entire family.

The 6,500-square foot venue also projects old MTV videos on their walls and plays favorite hits from the 1980's on their classic jukebox.

"We see parents bring in their young children, who haven't really seen these old school games before," Key said. "It's a bonding experience, parents sharing the games they played as kids back in the day."
