[Retroman839]

Was this place a hotel then with an arcade ??
Would have been ok if all there arcade/pinball where on freeplay

More like a retirement home for
Pinball & vid fanatics

Ruined Gwynedd mansion hit by fire

....which is a little confusing if it's supposed to have sat empty since 1982, but there's stuff in there that's newer than that. Maybe the outbuildings were in use until it was all burnt a few more times :-/ .
The video reminded me a bit of Dalquharran Castle, although that's a much bigger ruin.

This article sheds some light on why the machines may be there.

Seems to allude to the machines are from Butlins.

This article seems to suggest at one time there were absolutely loads of machines there. You'll need to read the comments.

This could be cause of its demise.

Would have been a nice hotel at the time to have a fire in your room.

That's a really interesting location, thanks for sharing. Shame all the bits look a bit too far gone though, I wonder if any of the monitor tubes are salvable? I would love to see pics of that place and the arcade room in its heyday.

Abandoning old cabs & pinballs must be a Welsh thing.

Was expecting a jump scare at any minute watching that 😂

Speak for yourself!

So did I and then suddenly the Cookie Monster got me!

Much of that was reminding me that I was too much of a coward to spend any meaningful time in Resident Evil 7. Thanks for sharing.

RE7 VR - get in the bin 😆

I killed that spider woman thing in the loft with just a knife, I went full survival mode. My son was watching and said "how have you done that, you had a gun?" 😆

Yeah - it was the VR option in 7 that just ended me. I could just about cope without VR, but it pushes way too many of my fear buttons, and VR was way more than my blood pressue can handle. 4 and 5 were the last ones I properly 'enjoyed' other than the 2 remake, but the sound of the bloody chainsaw usually hits the BP as well.

I've just sold my psvr, even the smell of it put the sh1ts up me 😆

Played Rush Of Blood once and actually threw a punch at some dick of a clown that jumped out of nowhere, ha ha!

My mate smashed a mirror in his lounge playing Superhot 🤣🤣🤣
