Mission businessman Evers Barrera is bringing a taste of nostalgia to Edinburg with the new Space Monkey Barrcade — an ’80s and ’90s themed free-play arcade, bar, and kitchen.

Space Monkey will have more than 100 games, both retro and modern, free to anyone who pays the $15 entry fee and wears the accompanying wristband.

The free game play was an important detail to Barrera when he decided to go into the arcade business. He was adamant that patrons should be able to have fun without worrying about breaking the bank.

As a child of the neon decade, the 49-year-old has fond memories of playing the classics like Centipede and NBA Jam at his local arcades. Barrera said he remembers trying to stretch the $5 dollars he got from his parents, selectively choosing which games deserved his quarters.
