I did it, yesterday I had  something to pick-up at Zeebrugge, so on my way home I made a quick stop at Blankenberge to check out the arcadehall.
Yes Darth, the Galaxian3 is still there. To bad I didn't bring my camera with me but some pictures of the place can be found here: http://www.jokergaming-bac.net/sportland_blankenberge.htm.
They have a lot of racing and shoot'm-up games. In wintertime they close a part of the hall, so I have to go back sometime this summer to check to place again (and take my camera this time).
By the way the name seems to "Sportland" instead of "Funland".
God must love crazy people, he made so many of them!!

You can't believe how touched I was when I entered the room, so many games, so little time. :shock:
I know the place for as long as I can remember. In the old days there was a second one, at the corner a few meters further on, it was a large one too.
Here at De Panne we had a few arcadehalls, 6 large and 1 small to be exact. They have all disappeared in the last decade, some have been transformed into cheep casino's. :(  
Thank god I still have some old PCB's, MAME and Daphne, so the game is not over at my place.  :D
