A useful excuse to play.
Wasatch Arcade packages five browser games as a hidden mountain arcade. Enter from a snowy backroad scene and choose a machine: Neon Summit pinball, Alley '84 skeeball, Midnight Run racing, Peak Breaker brick breaker, or Cold Front fixed shooter. Each game has its own controls and scoring loop, with synthesized sound adding an arcade atmosphere. The collection explores how familiar game mechanics can share a distinctive setting and visual identity. It is a playful set of interactive builds, from timing a flipper to steering through traffic, with browser-based high scores that invite another run.

The React application defines five machines: Neon Summit, Alley '84, Midnight Run, Peak Breaker, and Cold Front. Game loops draw to 2D Canvas with requestAnimationFrame; synthesized sound uses AudioContext and a dynamics compressor.
