2016-06-28 | timothy frahm | ..had my first cigarette (clove) sitting against the building, with amy, only two feet from the door. loved this place! moved to oregon, then idaho, came back in 2013 and drove around forever looking for it. R.I.P. Plaza 777 |
2016-01-09 | Jon | Not only is VR gone, but Plaza 777 is gone now too replaced by a new apartment development. |
2015-07-29 | BHT | Rick was the coolest and kindest dude ever !
Used to spend many hours there on every visit. I remember there was remote control racing outside at nights.
I still have a voucher from when one of the games ate my quarter.
Good times.

2014-05-22 | Brett Howard | I remember when this place opened! We started going to VR after Space Alley closed and was turned into the Alley Cat Pub. Anyone remember Space Alley at the Civic Center? It was right by the original location for Sidewalk Surfer! |

2011-05-13 | David Chandler | This place WAS may childhood. Rick was a great guy and looked after us all. Lots of awesome memories because of what he did to make this a great place for kids to hang out and stay out of trouble. Remeber when it was across the street next to the Wendys - Right around the same time Centepede was released |
2011-03-09 | Bj Render | I had many great times there.Rick was great to all of us just out causing trouble. That was the foose ball hang out. |
2010-08-26 | 9«GameCHika\ | Man oh man I use to go to Video Roundup when I was a kid. Matter of fact I can remember going there when I was about 5 or 6. I loved that place and haven't gone back and it's so sad to hear it is no longer there.. Bring back the arcades!! |
2010-04-13 | Patti5327 | They closed years ago but just found the owners Mick adn Rick on facebook under video roundup if anyone wants to join they have quite a few members you may remember

2002-12-22 | pacgirl | Tetris is broken and the guy said he was selling it. They also have hat trick hero there too. |
2002-11-27 | Mike | VR has, over the past two years, replaced many of their old school video games and pinball machines. Pinball machines they used to have: Indiana Jones, Junk Yard, Jurasiac Park, South Park and Medieval Madness. For vids. they had Galaga and robotron - gone now...however, they still have 1942 (sometimes set on a free plane every 70K), Ms. Packman and Tetris.
About a year ago they remodeled and I think made the place a lot less appealing. The video game area is small and feels cramped. I like the backroom - I wish they didn't get rid of all the pinball machines! |
2002-07-07 | Davina Hedger | Hey well this is by far the best arcade ever except for Dave n Busters. Video Round-up needs
newer games and they have to be more fun. |
2002-02-23 | Senor Y. | I was there tonight and about 2/3 of the place is a pool hall. I wish there were more classics, I saw a pac-man and a jr. pac-man in the back (cocktails) they had some 80's games, a lot of NEO-GEO games a few fighting games, a lot of driving games, a lot of shooting games and 1 pinball machine. The place is cool, but I wish there were more classics. A room full of classics may not generate enough money but it should would be fun. :>

2002-02-05 | Chr$ | VR is dying. The customers are not coming in anymore. Rick still owns the place, but He's selling some games. If you were a regular as a kid, he will probably still remember you. Go and drop some quarters. |
2001-11-15 | gamer | Wow I didn't know they were still open
I used to go there as a kid all the time. I may have to go there soon |
