I find it insufferable when fully grown adults bring liquor nips into my blatantly obvious sober establishment, drink them and then stash the empty bottles under a table like absolute slobs (like last night, after they asked if we served alcohol here)... as if we don't have 4K surveillance cams that catch the whole thing. But, when they bring their teenage kid with them, that's just extremely sad to me. 🙁 Needless to say, if you can't handle a sober environment like Prodig

Prodigy accepts the following types of payments, in order of preference: 1. Cash. Cash... is... king. We get 100% of all transaction sales on this type of payment. 2. Bitcoin. We get 100% of all transaction sales on this type, though slightly risky on my part, but it may be a good time to unload some of those 'coins on us! 3. Tap/Swipe/QR Code. All forms of credit cards are accepted, but they come with a $0.10 plus 2.6% transaction fee on my end. So, for a $1.00 water p

I wouldn't call this place a 'retro gallery' without allowing you to flip through my Garbage Pail Kids collection. Some say the largest GPK collection in Western Mass; over 7000 cards! Who else does this?

Did you know... Rad Racer on NES has a 3D mode by pushing 'select?' #FFF Fun Fact Friday!

After Intellivision (and Barbie), Mattel got bit by the 80's computer bug and released Aquarius. 1 year later and 20k sold, it didn't exist on shelves anymore. Poof!

Are you sick of plain-old vanilla Monopoly? Try the multiple mods!

When people think of the NES Zapper, they think about Duck Hunt. But, there were many other games that used the zapper, too! Come try them out!

Swinging a ring onto a hook; so simple, yet so complex.

The course is finely tuned for the tournament this Sunday! All mechanisms are working like new and the paint has been touched up. Also to clarify, the tournament is over by open time (2pm), so anyone visiting Prodigy for non-tournament needs, all games will be available for you.

Prodigy is truly unlike any other gameroom. We have challenges that no other places will ever have. If you haven't attempted the new addition of 10 holes to the Vertical Labyrinth, come challenge yourself again!

Who knew there were other mods of chess?

Fun Fact Friday! Did you know... in our video game library menus (of over 6000+ games), tabbed out by console, lists out not only genre, how many players and IGN rating... but also short descriptions of each game that may or may not contain made up ridiculous Easter egg lore by my staff? Hint... check out the Madden series on PS2, sometime. Who else does this?

As a society, we should stop referring to the PS1 as 'PSX' because the PSX was an actual device. Released in Japan, the Sony PSX was a gorgeous machine that played PS2 games and functioned as a DVD recorder that you could record live broadcast TV or your PS2 game. Come check it out! Where else can you do this?

Come ruin your eyes! Magic Eye books are now in the library for your 3D enjoyment.

Happy Sunday! My staff is off today, so instead of flying solo, I brought on a helper... Furbs! Come say hi! He's very fluffy. Also, we're officially 2 weeks away from the Prodigium Mid-Winter Cup Minigolf Tournament here at Prodigy! Sign up on the website. Pro-Tip: You are granted 1-free admission with your $40 registration to practice before the tourney; $1300 in cash prizes!

There was a time when companies took risks with esthetics. There was a time when video game consoles were competing with innovative design... as well as bits. At one point, Viewmaster (who brought us the 3D photo viewer) created one of the most iconic and sharp designs in video gaming; The Interactive Vision. Too bad it was garbage inside. Come see it, in the flesh!

Fun Fact Friday! Being a sober venue, I have to get super creative with my drink selections. In addition to the almost 60 drink selections I offer, 8 of them are Mountain Dew standards. How else are you going to legendary Halo? On natural energy? Get real. Who else does this?

The current tip battle is 'cake vs pie,' but we can't bring up cheesecake fearing a real battle may break out. If you tip (which all goes to my staff, not me), you may take a sticker; you give, I give. Collect them all! Always new ones releasing, too.

Foosball; one of six-thousand games to choose from here, yet gets more love than most games in the room. Soccer on a table... who knew? We also offer different variants of foosballs... recreational or tournament for our professional Tornado table. Who else does that?

Magazines; the lost art. At one point, I had subs for Nintendo Power, EGM, EGM2, Game Informer and Game Player's. Sadly, the last one, Game Informer stopped printing a couple years ago... but happily they recently brought it back due to demand! Imagine that, with all the information online, people still want their info in print. I didn't read books when I was young. I read video game magazines. Every. Word. I learned. I noted. I kept, cataloged and referenced them as needed.
