This place is pretty good as far as arcades go. Busy enough that it has all the games you’d want or expect, but not so big that it becomes a baffling overwhelming ordeal like Yifan’s. Plus, by arcade standards, the staff are pretty sweet. I mean I’ve never met an arcade worker that I’d describe as ‘friendly’, but they get closer here than the surly fucks you encounter anywhere else. One time I was there on a Sunday morning (I had time to kill before being interviewed on the radio, of all things) and because it was quiet the guy was taking the opportunity to do some tweaks on one of the machines. This meant that I played Tekken for free for about fifteen minutes while he fiddled about in the back of the machine, and he thanked me at the end of it. Yusss.

In some ways Timezone have blurred the line between traditional arcade gaming and more of a carnival style of entertainment.
Quiet a few of their games are more interactive than your button bashing joystick classics. Some being extremely physical. When you see somebody who is really good at the dance game you cannot help but stare, the combination of their lightning fast dance moves and the lights and sounds coming out of the game machine is really quite striking. In true carnival fashion, some of their games do not work through simulated graphics but are purely mechanical. There is a basketball game where you shoot hoops for prizes, and other kinds of strategy games which require real physical skill.
I find that these more physically interactive games gives the place a a much more festive atmosphere. Go there if your’re young or if you have young.

Yes, I am a big kid, and Timezone is for kids of all ages.
Underneath Burger King on Queen street is this noisy, neon video arcade. It has the most popular games from Tekken to Dance Dance Revolution and, more importantly, a couple of pinball machines. A selection of the games pump out Timezone’s classic coupons which can be exchanged for small prizes or sweets. There is even a pool table and, thankfully, air-conditioning (which any arcade player knows the importance of).
You might have to yell out to get the staff’s attention but they have weekly specials which will save you a little bit of money while you waste time. The downside is that you have to buy and use Powercards instead of using up petty coins in your wallet. But you can always sneak away downstairs for a few minutes while your more mature friends look for you in Burger King.
