About

Welcome to Joystick Junction, your local hub for arcade and pinball enthusiasts! Since we officially hit "Start" on October 4th, 2025, we’ve been dedicated to bringing high-score fun back to the community we love.

Joystick Junction isn’t just a business—it’s a family passion project. We have called Shasta County home for over 30 years, and wanted to create something special for our neighbors. We understand the importance of having a safe, fun, and engaging place for families to spend time together, and we are proud to serve the community we’ve been a part of for decades.

We are a strictly family-friendly arcade. We believe gaming is a universal language that bridges generations. Whether you are introducing your kids to the classics you grew up with or competing for a new high score on a modern pinball machine, our doors are open to the entire family, anytime we are open. Our game selection features a meticulously curated collection of nearly 30 arcade and pinball machines. We offer a diverse mix designed to satisfy both the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s and the excitement of modern gaming technology.

Located in Anderson, we are centrally positioned to provide great family entertainment for the entire region. We are the go-to spot for gamers and families across, Anderson , Redding, Red Bluff, Cottonwood, Palo Cedro, and surrounding Shasta & Tehama County communities. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or just passing through, come by and see why Joystick Junction is the heart of local retro and modern gaming.
