Soon, Tucker gamers of all ages will be able to enjoy an iconic clash of Super Smash Bros. with a heaping scoop of ice cream.
By late spring, the doors are slated to open at Infinite Horizons Arcade, which will feature more than 25 classic arcade games, multiple setups for modern gaming systems like the Nintendo Switch and PS5, and a 12-flavor ice cream bar.
“I think it offers another unique venue to get people to come discover Tucker,” said Chris Brennaman, who also owns Infinite Realities: Comics, Games & More. “And for the people who live in Tucker, it’s exciting, we have somewhere else to go.”
The renovation of the downtown business, which was once home to a CrossFit gym, began in February. In the coming weeks, the vision for a gaming destination and snack bar is set to come to fruition.
It’s been a labor of love for the last year, and the location, right along Main Street, is a hotspot for its target audience: Tucker teenagers.
“We wanted to be downtown, he said. “We wanted to be here because you have Tucker Middle School,” Brennaman points to the left of his arcade location,” and a few blocks to the right, you got Tucker High. If you come out here, you know, 3, 3:30, this place is just alive with teenagers.”
A teen dream
Brennaman and his wife, Tiffany, started their love story as teenagers 30 years ago. It was the joy of arcade games that brought them together in their hometown of Macon. They spent endless hours at their neighborhood arcade, Aladdin’s Castle.
Opening Infinite Realities more than seven years ago was the Brennamans’ first effort to ensure quirky and eclectic folks like them had a place of their own in Tucker. The store features hundreds of comics for fans of Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse. It’s not the comics that have kept folks coming back, though.
“I tell people we’re not in the comic business, we’re in the community business,” Brennaman said. “The idea was like, okay, well, what does ‘Cheers’ look like at the comic shop? It’s the place where everybody’s welcome, everybody knows your name…We have a staff that will remember your name, that will ask about your family, and legitimately cares about those things.”
Infinite possibilities
After building stamina and community at Infinite Realities, the couple planned to open a second location. Tariffs on paper products and overall inflation quickly deflated those plans. The Brennamans returned to their first love, gaming, as another way to invest in a viable space in Tucker.
“I’m most excited that there will be a generation of kids in 2026 that get to grow up with an arcade like we did,” Brennaman said.
Infinite Horizons will hold weekly tournaments and offer snacks like hot dogs and nachos in addition to the ice cream bar. Eventually, the arcade will also have 21+ hours when the arcade secures a license to serve alcohol.
District 3 Councilwoman Alexis Weaver said the Brennamans’ efforts to continue providing unique third spaces is a benefit not only to downtown but the entire city.
“Infinite Realities expanding to Infinite Horizons is a great example of what’s possible for small businesses in Tucker,” Weaver said. “For millennials and GenXers and our families, this arcade offers both nostalgia and a way to connect offline with our kids and communities. I’ve heard from a lot of people who are looking forward to the arcade opening and deepening relationships there.”
