      I kinda sorta managed to rescue them. And the green shirt I'm talking about in the video is actually grey. Oh dear..

    I don't think I saw one Raw Thrills game ( Eugene Jarvis's company) in the entire lot. Other than the shooters or driving games, there's nothing there I would find interest in
    There is an entertainment place near my home that has many of these games but they also have bowling alleys and laser tag to offer other options as well.

      I like a lot of the Raw Thrills games. They seem to be one of the only companies that still produce joystick games.

    Where can I play Crusin’ Bolton - must have missed that one in the series! 😂 🏎️
    Agree with you, it’s hard to expect joystick based games in modern arcades however Raw Thrills Centipede showed you could span both generations. No Pac-Man Battle Royale either but the air hockey game is a lot of fun with multiple players. Beardy fool videos always make you smile….. 😀

      Crusin' Bolton was a strictly limited North West UK only release. 😝
      I agree Matt: Rampage, Minecraft Dungeons, New Turtles are all stick games doing well.

    Looks to be enough floor space for a few retro cabs in there, pity.

      No retro love here. You'd have to go to Arcade Club Blackpool, just a mile down the road for that.

      I didn't mention Arcade Club, did I. Silly me: They have hundreds of the old retro games to play in three venues: Bury, Blackpool, and Leeds.

      You can trade in your tickets for prizes of varying quality. With enough tickets (maybe 5,000?) you could bag yourself a lighty-up mouse mat :P

      @@ShaunsArcade it's what they are now. A place to get kids addicted to gambling. Unlike back in the day when us kids would start on Tuppeny Nudger and then graduate onto Line Up 🤔

      I think those days are long gone, I'm afraid. Watch my Dave & Busters Vid which is more of the same but at least they've got a few joystick games ruclips.net/video/stX5PLV1KtU/видео.htmlsi=mOh0zMA2UcVyDOMS

      The upstairs area is a great (and a bit quieter!) Addition to the arcade.

      I bet they do well situated on the sea front, but they do have a lot of competition there with similar venues, Coral Island being the Big Daddy of them all.
