Went here yesterday with a few mates;
http://www.arcadeclub.co.uk/

£10 entry for as long as you want and everything is then on freeplay.
Absolutely brilliant place - highly recommended if your into arcade and pinball machines.

Highlights for me were Paperboy, Hardriving, Time Crisis, Gauntlet, Battlezone and Outrun although there are loads more I didn't play. X-Men pinball machine has an awesome multiball mode!
I forgot to play on the N64 Goldeneye that they have set up and running.

Cant believe how difficult the games are though, you can sense the fact they were machines for specifically taking money off people and that I must have shoveled a fair amount of 10p's into the machines above as I used to be pretty good on them whereas yesterday I was really quite rubbish!

Been on my to-do list for ages. They used to be in Haslingden which is only a town over from me. Really must get down there before they move even further away.

Nice idea. I shovelled lots of 10ps in until I got good then less so. Moon Cresta, phoenix, scramble, battlezone. Happy days. Finding fruit machines was a more expensive lesson....

Wonder if you still get a mild electric shock from the coin slot. Eeee those were the days.
I'd like to go but it'd be full of 40 year old blokes and I don't want reminding of my age thanks.?

My eldest lad (12) had his birthday party there.

Went down a storm with him and his XBox obsessed mates.

He wants to do this next year though...

My mates old pinball collection does that to you when you brush the coin slots, more of a gentle [i]tingle[/i] rather than an electric shock though. Add's another element to the game 🙂
