| 2011-06-30 | JimmyMac | Wow! Went back to PSU this week after graduating over 30 years ago. |
| 2011-01-10 | Amanda | I remember playing this cutesy dino game that was near the second window facing College Ave. Cavemen were chasing you around and if you got a certain item, you could turn into a T-Rex and eat them. Anyone remember that game by chance? |
| 2005-09-03 | Chalice D | R.I.P., Playland... can't believe it's gone. Good atmosphere (which does not = spotless, nor does it need to) & great games. Is there even an arcade in State College anymore? |
| 2005-07-25 | Bill | Really fantastic place. Very heartbreaking that I heard it is gone. The first (and second and third.. and only) place I beat Ms Pac Man (fast version.) Theatre of Magic got many a coin as well. Well, one less reason to recommend Penn State to my friends now! :( |

| 2004-09-22 | marcusmayer74@hotmail.com | I just came across this site searching for arcade game histories. I CANNOT believe that Playland has shut its doors for good! I went to PSU University Park from 96-99 and spent many a time there after going to Player's, G-Man or after class playing classics like Cruisin' USA, Daytona USA, Cabal, Track & Field, Elevator Action working out my frustrations at the time with the girls, classes, profs, or alcohol! PLAYLAND WILL BE MISSED!!! |
| 2004-01-02 | Tony P | Will keep the comments around for a bit on this place |
| 2003-12-19 | N. T. Katt | Rest in Peace, Playland! It was by far my favorite arcade of all time. After over 35 years, Playland shut its doors forever 11/30/03. It was simply the best...... so many classic games...... and open 365 days a year from 8 am to 4 am....... what a wonderful place. And good ol' Gene was there for the last 29 years taking care of the machines and customers. Well done, Gene. Well done, Playland. We'll miss you terribly! |
| 2003-10-29 | PennFarms | Too bad Playland will be shutting its doors forever in December. Who knows where the hell I'll get Mr. Do fix now! |
| 2003-05-19 | yelp | Playland is great. Pinball and most light gun games are only 25cents a credit. Plus they have a ton of classics, not to mention metal slug 3 and 4. One of the best arcades in the state. |
