>> Post your pics of PRESENT DAY arcades !!! <<<

[level42]

Let's see how "dead" arcades really are anno 2014....upload YOUR pics of arcades today ! It doesn't matter how "bad" they are....of course....no "gaming only" arcades...

And please no stock or internet pics but pics you made yourself and of course location and a short description.

I'll kick off:

Name: Copacabana
Adress: Grotestraat Centrum 43-45
6301 CW Valkenburg a/d Geul
The Netherlands
Website: http://www.copacabana.nl

Description: This used to be one of a couple of arcades in this tourist town in the far south of the Netherlands. These pics were taken in 2013 and it is the last remaining arcade there. As with so many, the vast area of space is gambling machines now, but still some videogames and 1 or 2 pins there.

Date: August 2014
Name: Tenpin bowling (the arcade section is in front of the bowling lanes but doesn't have a separate name it seems...)
Adress: Cambridge Leisure Park, Clifton Way, Cambridge, CB1 7DY, United Kingdom

Description: This is a pretty large arcade area in front of a bowling area. Most games are video games but also redemption and some modern EM games. I've visited it three times now and they keep the machines in pretty great condition and keep them up-to-date too, that is new games appear regularly.


OK, one internet picture because I forgot to make one from the outside:

The second picture is "Speed of Light" which is actually a very fun redemption game. Simple as hell....just push all the buttons that light up as quickly as possible. Not a lot of depth but a lot of fun to play two player.

The third picture shows the only machine with a CRT still in that arcade

And of course some cranes there. I had NEVER played a crane before but the Minions inside made me want to have a go....and just for 2 pounds I scored

I have no clue of any arcades near my home. But if you live near Centerparcs in the Netherlands or Belgium, you can always go to their House of Games. You don't have to pay an entry fee. Simply park your car outside and walk into the park.

They usually have modern videogames (lightguns and drivers), one or more pins and of course the other arcade stuff (crane machines, basketball etc.)

Here's a link to my visit @ Futuroscope.
That's the closest thing I have to a real arcade.
