Description: You have inherited an old pierhead arcade and you have the run of the place. You can play any game in the arcade as many times as you want by yourself or invite friends into your arcade and play together. Play in your own virtual arcade with unlimited tokens.
Review: Pierhead Arcade is a classic virtual arcade filled with all the sorts of ticket machine games you have probably played in real life hundreds of times before. Classic fun games like Rocket Ball, Basketball, Bowling, Comet Drop, Arctic Shuffle, Super Punch, Binary Dash, Honey Rush and much more. The good news is you have to play it with the touch controllers so it really is just like playing these games in real life! Only you don’t have to keep piling in coins to keep playing them.
Everything feels so natural to be fair and there is a gift shop to spend your tickets once you have won a few. But for the real completionist, there are lots of prizes to win. But some you will need a lot of tickets indeed. All set in an end-of-pier setting it is sure to bring happy memories to people both young and old. This is a perfect game to showcase VR to people. It doesn’t matter how young or old the player is, they will find something to enjoy. It looks great, is natural to play and would save you a fortune from playing the real things. This is one pier arcade that is money well spent.
