Went there yesterday and it's decent! Lots of shooting and car type games, the ones you get in bowling alley type things. And then a huge section on some of the old games, double dragon, r type, TMNT etc. Enjoyed the two Astros they have, one especially is in great condition and was a joy to play.

Good luck to anyone trying but there are far more closing down than opening.

You have to hope the bars successful but the fad is over.

I’ve always thought that Arcade Club and places like NQ64 who know how to run a bar would be the ones that survive.

Mine are on pay as you play somewhere rent free. They take hardly anything and the foot fall where they are is enormous.

The collectors and day trippers can sustain a few places. But with an average of 1 pub closing a day and new taxes incoming, the evidence is already there that the leisure sector is in trouble.

Good luck to whoever this is though

Have they got any decent games. You know, like Black Tiger, 1942 or Rygar?! Or is it all drivers and fight-and-go-rights?

I've visited a few of these places and the drivers like Outrun 2, Daytona and light gun games Time Crisis 1 & 2 are always the biggest draw.

It's a double edged sword really, NQ64 might do well because they can run a bar - but it's not a nice atmosphere to play games in. I went to the one in Soho a couple of weeks ago and it went like this:

Me: Shall we play Outrun 2?
Friend: WHAT?
Me: Shall we play Outrun 2?
Friend: WHAT?

Lol!

You're not wrong.

Concrete bunkers with injection room styling don't get my arcade juices flowing either.

Thank goodness for AC.

I'm all for giving the smaller venues a chance, but I needs games that I actually enjoys playing :-(

Haha 'injection room' that sums it up nicely. It always reminds me of what the evil company does to Michael Douglas' house in The Game (1997)
