Entering Pinballz Kingdom in Buda is like walking through a timewarp in which the classic arcade experience of flashing lights and pinging pinball games never faded away into history.

The enormous dragon mounted above the entrance excites the inner nerd of each visitor, giving gamers a taste of what lies inside. The rock facade of this decades old building resembling a fort only adds to the ambience of the experience.

The Buda location is one of three Pinballz arcade locations in the Austin area, showing that the classic arcade experience is alive and well today. It’s family-run, locally owned and the Buda location can boast that it has the largest number of pinball machines in Texas.

It also features a full restaurant, and a lazer tag course.

Some of the standout classic arcade games are Teenage Mutant Ninja Teenagers and Kung Fu Master. The arcade also features newer titles like the Jurrasic Park shooter and Batman driving game.

Pinballz has 124 games that offer prizes ranging from Pinball machines to racing games. Newer games give you tickets you can use to buy prizes such as candy and a new Xbox One S.

“The most popular games for teenagers are Street Fighter, and the Jurassic park shooter game,” Pinballz operations manager Jeremy Mendoza said.

Inner Soldier lazer tag game is not like a typical lazer tag in most gaming centers., It uses modern technology so you don’t have to lug around that heavy uncomfortable vest and bulky SciFi lazer gun.

When asked how the Inner soldier lazer tag worked.

Mendoza said the system uses headbands with three sensors and one sensor in the gun.

“It’s like a lifelike Call of Duty with modern military weapons like AKs and M4s,” he said.

The fact that it takes place outside during the day instead of inside a dark cavernous room also makes the experience unique. Plenty of paintball players love it because it gives players the same thrill in a fun course without the painful paintballs flying everywhere hurting people.

Inner soldier lazer tag is also inexpensive compared to real paintball where cutomers spend tons of money on gear and equipment.

For the low price of $15 a player can have 30 minutes of gameplay with a variety of modes such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, Defuse the Bomb, Break the Bank, and Capture the Flag.

After an intense game session, players who work up an appetite, don’t have to travel any farther than Pinballz Kingdom’s very own restaurant, featuring a wide variety of menu items, including appetizers, entrees and desserts. Customers can start with one of their classic appetizers like fried pickles. They have seven different types of burgers.

Don’t forget to check out the dessert menu, which includes funnel fries with sweet mascarpone mint and chocolate.
