Full Interview:

The arcade features several hundreds of machines whether from the 1980s, 1990s, or recent releases. It also displays many made-from scratch cutouts of classic video game and comic book characters such as Deadpool, Mario, Pikachu, Superman, and more.

Stansberry said the theme of the entire place is Good vs. Evil. On one side you'll see protagonists and the other the opposite. He said he plans to have a different theme for the arcade around holidays such as Halloween with corresponding arcade games and cutouts.

Customers can submit what games they want in the building by voting and they'll switch out every now and again to keep the line of machines fresh and new.

Stansberry said if you ask for a certain machine he will more than likely have it. He hopes to have almost every arcade machine that's ever existed for the building.

The grand opening will be Friday, February 10th 7pm - 2am for ages 21 & up. Admission is $15 or $10 with College/Military ID. On Saturday, the arcade will be open for all ages from 12pm to 6pm. Admission for Family Saturdays is $7.50 before 7 pm.

Attack's regular hours will be Thursday-Saturday, see the owner for details.
