Games Chart
Throughout the history of Palace Amusements, hundreds of different coin-operated arcade games were installed in the complex, operated for a period of time, and eventually replaced with newer machines. Some were there only briefly, while others became perennial favorites and remained at the Palace for decades. The following list of games is a small sampling of the many titles. Through photographs and reliable sources, we have verified that all of these machines once operated at the Palace.
