Wow, I haven't been to the arcade in the Berlin Farmer's market in about 20 years. I DO fondly remember going there back as early as 82/83, when I was little and my folks would take me. I remember them having the sit down star wars machine when our own mall arcades got rid of theirs. I sure do miss this place too. The food was always incredible and in better times when my family was still all alive and healthy, we'd eat here and grab some roasted peanuts and pretzels to take home. I can still smell this place in my memory, as odd as that may sound.
Wow, awesome! That's cool that you have memories of that and that it's still around! Most of the places from my childhood have either closed their doors or turned into something completely different at this point. You should definitely make a return visit while you can!
I will head back here soon enough. It's one of my favorites, especially because it kinda reminds me of the arcades I used to go to at malls and shore towns (like Belmar Playland) in the 80s and 90s with majority arcade games and pinball machines, instead of the current mostly redemption machine arcades (which I call, "Legal gambling for kids!") for tickets and/or drop cranes.

Thank you!! That's what I've always said about modern day arcades. Nothing but a gambling hall/casino for kids.
It's a really good spot, and the owner is so nice. Definitely plan on coming back a few times throughout the summer!
