I was at Disney Quest a month ago and it was full of games. I spent over 6 hours with my under 10 son and had a blast showing him the games I grew up with, along with playing a few of the more modern games. Fix It Felix was pretty cool. It looked and played exactly like any arcade game from the early to mid-80's.
Disney Quest didn't look gutted at all to me. Granted, it had been over 10 years since my last visit. But, all the unique games from before were still there. The Pirates of the Caribbean fire the cannon game, the river rafting, the Astroblaster, video pinball, Aladdin virtual reality, create your own roller coaster, etc. Obviously some of this stuff doesn't stand the test of time technology wise, but still fun to try nonetheless. Especially the Pirates game.
There was still a floor chocked full of the old school arcade games from the 80's (Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Dig Dug, Asteroids, Frogger, Galaxian, Pac Man, Ms. Pacman, Tron, Space Invaders, etc.), alongside of which were these all-in-one arcade machines that looked like a typical arcade machine, but contained just about every game made by one maker in one unit. There were also the Dave & Buster ticket type games (sans tickets), like basketball shoot and ski ball. A handful of pinball machines. Several good air hockey games. Even a few more modern games are spread throughout like Temple Run, Guitar Hero, finger swipe games (like Fruit ninja, I think it was) and several shooter games where you can finish the entire game in a half hour with endless continues. Star Wars podracing. A couple of racing games where you can go head to head, including a Nascar game where something like up to 8 people can race against each other at the same time.
The place may open at noon and the $50 cost may understandably be too steep for some. But, I got 2 free tickets courtesy of a promotion being run at the Best Western Lake Buena Vista that is only a block away from Disney Springs. So, we drove to the hotel, checked in at 11, got our free tickets for choosing their hotel and went to Disney Quest for the day.
