Yesterday we went to see a movie and afterwards I had to check something out which Anunaki pointed me to....
It was a brand new arcade very close to the cinema !!!!!
I hadn't seen it before so it opened quite recently and well.......I'm amazed by that.
Of course, it is a modern day arcade but....I don't really care, I was totally amazed that someone has the guts to open a brand new arcade in 2016.
The name is Gamestate and they also already have a location in Kerkrade near the German border, and they re opening another one in Utrecht beginning 2017.
What I've found in there were of course the usual machines for today, of course with the tickets playing a large roll but for me, having these so close by is amazing.
The concept is really very much like the arcade I visited in Cambridge, I mean there's a huge cinema, bowling alley, restaurants etc. etc, all concentrated on one location. A good spot for an arcade IMHO, although I know the one which was at the Tilburg cinema already closed again (not Gamestate though).
This area is very close to the Feyenoord Stadium.
I made some pics and videos which I will upload ASAP. They had two pinball machines, Kiss and Star Trek and I also played the Star Wars Battlepod......which is uhmmmmmm....fun but not as much as I had hoped....
What amazed me the most was the amount of people there. It's a multi-cultural area for sure and no matter from what culture, they all seemed to be there enjoying the games, even the pinballs were almost constantly played by young and some older people......I do have to add that it was the evening of what's we call 2nd Christmas Day and the cinema was insanely busy too...
