I remember visiting Smiles years ago when it was still Milford Amusement Center. Things have REALLY gone downhill since then. Most frequent visitors are between the ages of 13 and 17 and seem to be more interested in kissing and smoking than in playing arcade games. This may be because most of the arcade games, particularly those that dispense tickets, are permanently out of order. The technicians are extremely difficult to locate, and if you do manage to find one, their way to deal with whatever problem you may have is to hand you a free token and send you on your way. The prizes in the redemption center are cheap, and most are unattainable, as they chronically remove and/or tamper with any machine that will dispense more than ten tickets at a time. If you're looking for old-fashioned arcade fun, you won't find it here.
