Arcade Lifestyle / The rise and fall of the London Trocadero and Sega World- an entire history
« on: July 02, 2017, 09:51:24 PM »
Hi all.
Around this time last I became... obsessed with the history of the London Trocadero. I'd known of it before, but suddenly I began to delve extremely deep into it's history, learning about it's attractions and of course, Sega World and Funland, the UK's mecca of arcades. I've sat on a lot of videos and information for quite a while, but over the course of a month I have condensed most of it into one blog post- titled The Rise and Fall of the London Trocadero and Sega World. Here it is:

I do mention this in the article, but I couldn't really actually find a lot of stuff about the Troc before it's entertainment centre years, so I did rip most of the first part from Wikipedia. I wouldn't imagine any of you care about that though really.
Also I have posted a review of the new Daytona + a report on what arcade games are left in Whitby on the same blog if you'd like to check it out. (I know shameless self promotion...)

it's either sat there unused for 3 years because Fun World can't be bothered to do anything with it, or they've tried repeatedly to fix it but to no avail. If it's the latter then it's only a matter of time before it goes!
