Hi all

Hi all,

New member from Glasgow area here.

I've just been getting back into arcades for the last year or so after they used to be a big passion of mine in the 80's and 90's when I was a teenager and in my early twenties.

My grandparents lived just outside Blackpool at Fleetwood during that period of time so I spent every school holiday visiting the arcades (and my grandparents!).

I'm hoping this place isn't going to cost me too much money

Welcome aboard.

Welcome, but I'm afraid this place is definitely going to cost you too much money.

Hi, my favourite arcade games are without a doubt Chase HQ and Operation Wolf. I still make a bee line straight for these whenever there is a retro event on.

I have a lot of memories of these two particular games when they first came out and then looking forward to the home conversions for my Amstrad CPC 464

I also have a soft spot for Asteroids which is still hard to top as a 'just one more go' game.

Welcome Dave. I had a caravan at fleetwood but sold it a few years ago, used to go every year as a boy !! My first ever repair was on a cpc 464 tape deck, back in the day. 2 good game choices but you missed out wonderboy !! Surely in your top 10 ???

Dave.

Welcome Dave. I know Fleetwood well, oddly my grandparents lived there too.
Nice fave games there. Kiss goodbye to your money though
