This year’s Best Of Monterey County Readers’ Poll is themed to games, so it’s been an exercise to connect the winners with a game that best describes them. Here’s a winner that is literally all about games, so there’s no extra effort needed on our part. Oscar’s Playground has the latest and greatest arcade games (Minecraft Dungeons, Crusi’n Blast), with plenty of the classics (Pac-Man, pinball) that no arcade should ever be without. It’s not all about screens, either: It also has escape rooms, so you can also test out your strategy skills – without a joystick.
