They have a few good arcades on Rhyl seafront..cant remember which machines they have though.

The place that does stick in my mind is in Prestatyn (spelling) just on the road into Presthaven Sands Holiday park..its a big long road leading down to the entrance.

On the right hand side there is a place called 'Seashore Amusements' (its on Shore Road) the last time i was there they had an Italian Job..Great Escape..Donkey Kong..Monopoly..Thrills and Spills.. and a few Nudge Up ? machines on 2p play.

simple, get a decent hotel with all the mod cons, and then take a laptop with amber on it.

play the oldies (blues, crystal stuff) to your hearts content - while the waiter refills your glass

I was aorund Towyn north wales over the bank holiday i could'nt find many older machines but the one's i did find were Donkey Kong not sure how mush a play, thrills and spills 2p a play, roller coaster in knightly's arcade 10p a play, monkey business not sure how much a play, in lucky strike arcade there is a few that i know have been emulated and a lot of epoch machines and newer tech but not so many dond machines

Agreed. Rhyl and Prestatyn used to be great for machines. There were also a few good arcades in Wrexham.

Looking at it through rose tinted specs I think, but many a happy day spent in North Wales as a kid.
