Ataricade "House Rules" sign

Ataricade currently consists of 21 Atari coin-op video games. Some of the restorative work that was done to each game listed below, but although not mentioned, other miscellaneous tasks were performed to many of them as well (e.g. power cord replacement, filter capacitor replacement, R/A pcb capacitor/transistor replacement, coin mech servicing/replacement, etc.).

All games are plugged in groups of 3 to APC line conditioners and are set to coin-operation (except Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Warlords which are currently set to free play) & factory recommended settings.

Many of these games were first encountered at what was quite possibly an Atari video game test site, Westworld, during the "Golden Age".
