Night City Arcade

The Night City Arcade is a retro games hall. Walk up to the arcade door (the arcade icon on the map), press E and you are inside. Every cabinet is a real little game on its screen. A play costs $25 (cash first, then bank).

The games

Cabinet	How to play	Points
Snake	Arrow keys / WASD steer. Eat the red dots, don't hit a wall or yourself. It speeds up as you grow.	10 per dot
Brick Breaker	Arrows / A D or the mouse move the paddle, SPACE or click launches the ball. 3 lives.	10 to 60 per brick (top rows are worth more)
Space Shooter	Arrows / A D move, hold SPACE to fire. 3 lives. Ships that reach the bottom cost a life.	Gold 10, green 20, red tanks 10 per hit
Stack Tower	SPACE or click drops the sliding block. The overhang is cut off, so keep it lined up.	1 per block, 2 for a perfect drop
Reaction Test	5 rounds. When the screen turns gold, press SPACE or click. Pressing early scores 0 for that round.	up to 480 per round
Claw Machine	Arrows / A D move the claw, SPACE drops it. You get 15 seconds and one drop.	Win a plushie

ESC ends the game you are playing and sends your score. After a game you can play again right away from the score screen.

Duo mode

Snake and Space Shooter have a Duo mode for two players side by side. Stand at the cabinet with your partner and choose Duo with the nearest player. Your partner gets an invite (accept in the menu, or type /arcadeaccept). You each pay $25, play the same level on your own screen and see your partner's screen live next to yours. Your two scores add up to a team score on the Duo board.

High scores

Every cabinet has High scores (E on a machine, or /arcadetop <game> anywhere): all time and this week, plus your own best. Duo boards show teams, the claw board shows who won the most prizes. The machine checks every score, so a score that is impossible for the game is not saved.

When the city runs weekly prizes, the top 3 of each game (not the claw) are paid to their bank every Monday.

Claw prizes

Plushies: Purple Space Monkey, Green Alien, Blue Robot, Orange Tiger, Princess Bot, Wasabi Cat and the rare Grand Master. The better you line up the claw, the better your chance, but it is never a sure thing. If your pockets are full you get a little cash instead.
