Community:BeastyBlake101/Arcade Island

Arcade Island is a social hangout experience created by BeastyBlake101. It was the follow-up from the 2009 Robloxian Arcade.

Gameplay
Arcade Island takes place on an island with an arcade building and several other attractions. These attractions include Victory Lane (a go-kart track), Super Drop (a ride), a 3-story hotel, a pool, and skydiving. There are also buildings where players can read about the history of Arcade Island development and purchase Arcade Island merch.

The arcade building consists of 40+ arcade games that are inspired by real-life redemption games seen in arcade venues such as Dave & Busters and Round 1. Chips are needed to play most games. To play a game, a player must click on the card reader, which deducts the cost shown from their chip balance. The color of the card reader corresponds to the type of prize that can be won from the game.


 * Green card readers indicate games that pay tickets.
 * Blue card readers indicate prize games.
 * Pink card readers indicate games that are just for fun and dispense no prize.

Once enough tickets have been accumulated, a player can exchange their tickets for prizes in the Prize shop located inside the arcade building. These prizes do not affect a player's progression.

Players gain chips by waiting six hours to claim their daily chip bonus. Chips can also be purchased via Robux. In addition, players can buy Chip Rains, which spawn a number of chips from the ceiling of the arcade building. Everyone in the building can participate in the chip rain.

Players can also work at the restaurant inside the arcade building by purchasing a Worker gamepass.

Pre-Arcade Island
According to the development information from Arcade Island's The Museum, Arcade Island started in 2018 as Arcade Universe, an arcade that originally had one game: Storm Stopper. Over time, Arcade Universe contained an increasing number of games. A year later, Arcade Universe was renamed to Dave and Buster's.

Arcade Island 1
Arcade Island 1 was released in February 2020, and it introduced a number of attractions such as a hotel, a dance club, a museum, an aquarium, a movie theatre, and many restaurants. It also introduced the Chips/Tickets system. The chips are spent each minute by being in the Midway. When a player runs out of credits, they will automatically respawn to the front of the Midway.

The Bank was also introduced. It is a laser maze attraction where a player has click on the lit buttons while dodging lasers and purple areas. Getting hit by the laser adds a time penalty to their score, while hitting the purple area instantly ends the game. The attraction requires a gamepass to enter.

The Reward points system was introduced in this version. A player accumulates Reward points by purchasing in-game items with Robux. If a player has at least 100 Reward Points, they can spin the Rewards wheel to earn additional Chips.

Mopeds were added in Arcade Island 1. Players can drive around the map on a moped. They are rentable for tickets.

This is when Arcade Island was D&B before the change in names.

Arcade Island 2
Arcade Island 2 was released in September 12, 2020. In this version, the island, the buildings, and the games get a major redesign. New games from both BeastyBlake101 and other contributors were also added. The shop GUI was modified so that all the purchasable content is in one place instead of taking up the left side of the screen permanently. Several attractions such as the aquarium were removed.

The chips are now spent by playing a game rather than being in the Midway.
