Anyone heard of/been here? They had a small space around Acton in the past, and we're going to open in Shepherds Bush but that fell through at the last moment and they are now in Croydon. It seems to be a work in progress and I think a lot of the machines are from Sega World/Trocadero with new ones coming in from various sources. Anyway I am going to take a look next weekend.

Went just before the school holidays. Probably best to wait til the youts are back at school.
£10 for all day entry. I had a great time, but it is mostly fighting games in the arcade. I got there about 10am, so had it mostly to myself. The guy there was setting up, he asked if I'd rather play Japanese Tetris or Powerstone 2...
Definitely thought it was worth it, and will be going again, although will take a friend or two next time
Hope you enjoy it!

@kyleforrester87 , not Croydon mate....

Might as well be up in the Himalayas, shame there aren't many proper arcades around central London for example.

@CountFunkula78 Sweet, i'll be going with my other half, not sure what to expect really. It's clearly a bit of a work in progress but hopefully it turns into a big success for them.

@xX_RiscazZ_Xx Yeahh the location is a shame to be honest. I'm in Shepherds Bush myself and they were lined up to open in the W12 centre near the station which would have been 5 minutes from me...gutted that fell through.

@Kidfried I love an arcade, sadley I didn't get to enjoy them enough before they all started closing down

@kyleforrester87 looks decent. Ive got an arcade up by mine which was amazing in the 80s and early 90s but is now full of claw machines, 2p diddlers and games with broken buttons.

Its probably my dream job to run an arcade with some form of mlg type competition running weekly on the games so Im a bit jealous.
