Hi all, Thanks for having me. I've been lurking for a few weeks since I decided to finally pull my finger out and get some arcade equipment after toying with idea for a few years and messing with mame and retropi. I initially intended to build a table top arcade but I've now settled for a Supergun for the time being. I've learned a lot already (I think) visiting ukvac but with having some equipment on the way I have no doubt I will have question. So thanks again and any help received is appreciated. Marra.

Hello fellow Wiganner,

I lived on the Orrell Billings border and used to frequent the Wigan arcades and also a small place called Athertons at the Orrell water park. Always Three machines at 'athies' with always the latest games on 10p. The owner went on three cruises a year on the 50/50 split! It was massively popular and with only three machines.

Starburst, Kingstrret, the one near the Wallgwte train station and the old bus station / market were the best.

Had fond memories, hope you had too.

Thanks for the replies everyone. @jonhughes, I live near the DW stadium (Always have) so I used to spend a fair bit of time at the arcade in newtown and the one further up in pemberton where my auntie worked and of course Starburst in wigan.
