In its five-year existence, JMBLYA has quickly grown to become one of the city's biggest and most anticipated annual music festivals by blending top artists from hip-hop and EDM for a daylong festival setting with all the accouterments of mega festivals like ACL or Lollapalooza. The only difference is that they don't have to carry around the $10 in quarters needed to beat the Evil MC boss at the end of Smash TV.

Owner Corey Hyden dedicates his time to making sure his customers feel like they've stepped into the same video game arcade they visited when their parents had to drive them there or they weren't old enough to order any of the adult beverages served by Free Play's bartenders.

Free Play Arcade fired back by expanding its empire to a second, much larger location in Arlington that provides more space to show off an impressive collection of classic video game machines that are set to open play without requiring those annoying credits to continue. Free Play Arcade's massive success brought a new level of competition among the local arcade scene and brought on some interesting competition with new entries like the Bishop Cider Company's Cidercade and the eSports-focused Versus Gameplay in Plano. It also offered a true retro feel, from the neon striped walls to the sounds of '80s staples like Rush and Cyndi Lauper filling the air. When Free Play Arcade opened its first location in Richardson in 2015, it was the first video game arcade to offer a buffet of classic games to more grownup players.
