Shree Ganesh Game Zone

We set this place up in Jivraj Park because there wasn't really anywhere for the kids in Wakad to go and hang out. It’s right on Gujarati Lane, which can be a bit tricky to find if you’re not from around here. We have a few consoles and some older arcade machines that we picked up over time. Some of them act up occasionally, but usually, a quick restart fixes things. It can get pretty loud in here when a group of teenagers starts playing a racing game, but that's just how it is. My brother and I run the place most days. We spend a lot of time making sure the controllers aren't too sticky and checking the connections. It’s not a huge space, so it gets a bit cramped on weekends when everyone is off school. We don’t have fancy neon lights or anything like that, just some basic chairs and the screens. Sometimes parents come in to drop their kids off while they go run errands nearby. We’ve seen a lot of kids grow up here over the last few years. It’s a bit of a hangout spot more than anything else. We try to keep the prices fair so people can stay for an hour or two without it costing a fortune. It’s just a small local business trying to keep things running smoothly for the neighborhood kids and gamers who live nearby. We hope the machines stay working for a long time.
