Super Monaco GP was released about then but not 100% sure it had Suzuka as a circuit in the version I had played (not sure I had it, might have been one of the other kids at school)

Going to Arcade Club tonight. Just checked and it is one of the few machines that they don't have! Still, they have Daytona, Sega Rally and, Pole Position and Super Monaco.

 

No doubt they'll all be a bit shit as it is 30 years since I've played any of them.

Build your own arcade machine. I still like a go of pac man, frogger, galaxian and space invaders. I built a machine a few years back over a Christmas break. This Christmas I'm looking at renewing the vinyl on the sides as it's faded a bit, from being in the conservatory.

I rented a couple of arcade machines for my wedding. Sega Rally and Time Crisis 2 set to free play. Such nostalgia!

Its good to see these arcade's opening up. Get to relive ones youth!

Nope, first time. I'm supposed to be going as an Explorer Scout Leader. But sod that, I'm going to get stuck in.

Have a great time. Arcade club is brilliant. Top floor is full of oldie arcade machines. 

If you need a break there's a bar area and serves food. Decent prices as well

Bloody loved Sega Rally 30 - THIRTY!! - years ago. 

A mate joined the police and when driver training the instructor asked where he "learned to drive like that"... Dropping a gear and flooring it through the corners.
