Visit to Frankfurt... arcades?
« on: March 23, 2014, 01:04:30 PM »
Hi,

I'm heading to Frankfurt in the next couple weeks for a wee holiday and going to be enjoying the Baden-Württemberg area. I had read that there is an arcade museum called FLIPPER- UND ARCADEMUSEUM SELIGENSTADT. Does anyone know it and would recommend it, or are there any other places to go?

Thanks,


Si

Hi.

Retrogames in Karlsruhe is open every weekend and on Tuesday (members only, but if you don't bring 10 friends you are welcomed, too).
I've been there 2 months ago and know some of the guys in person for years (ironically through my other retro gaming hobby not arcades).

Seligenstadt is open for public every first Saturday a month.
http://for-amusement-only.de/ - haven't been there yet after the move.

Since FAO got more room, there are nearly 100+ Pins and maybe 40+ Arcade-Machines. So its definitely worth a visit.

Dirk (Capt. Kirk) is a member of Retrogamers in Karlsruhe.

Sailorsat is co-founder of FAO Seligenstadt


Both locations are well worth a visit!! :)
