that near the bridge and it looks like a desart inside?

The big arcade in scarborough used to be called Olympia but they changed it to a tacky jungle themed arcade called "Fantasy Forest". Its gone through a lot of owners and changes over the last 20 years. Other bizarre ideas it had were bumper cars you weren't allowed to bump in, you all had to drive in an anitclockwise direction. Back in the day when i used to go there was a lot of video games I remember the towns only R-Type machine been in there, these days its just row after row of 5p/£5 clones. Last few times I have been in were to go bowling.

Sandown pier on the Isle Of Wight has a huge arcade, the biggest on the island i think.

Also there is an arcade opposite the train station at Ryde seafront which has a ton of retro machines and is also kinda big.

I live on the island mate, I go down to Sandown pier every weekend if I get the chance. I rarely go to Ryde though... maybe we could meet up one day and play on a few machines at Sandown?

It's still there, in the eagle centre market, right in the top left of the place, and there are another two arcades close by.... one right at the front, next to an electrical shop. and the other, almost next to Derby Playhouse, very close to the first one mentioned.... all shitholes, with machines that reg break down.

There is also another one, opposite the main crown court, which I have used for years.... very friendly folk in there.

Sounds like it will be the one at the front, closest to the road entrance, next door to Shamra's Electricals.

About the only place I will go in now, is Harry's, opposite the crown court, though have sometimes been in shipley's, near the assembly rooms.

there`s a pretty huge Shipleys in new street in Birmingham City centre, and a small arcade/cafe near to where i live called Lucky Strike with about 10 10p/£5 jp machines in it

Where I live there is a small arcade, they have about 30 machines though.. but if 2 people are playing machines opposite each other you cant walk past as its so narrow..
