  • A quick no-commentary tour of the Retro Room, which can be found at the Merrivale Model Village on the Great Yarmouth sea front. It's free entry, and pay per play just like the old days (except you buy tokens)

      Thanks Ed, yeah it's a nice arcade and being on the seafront hits the nostalgia just that little bit harder 😂 Have a good one too 👍

    Man what a great place! So many great cabs, would kill for some 2 player Championship Sprint!
    If ever I'm over that way this will definitely be on the list.

      Yeah it's a cool place - wasn't very busy though so hope it keeps going 🤞 I liked that it wasn't huge, sometimes there's too much choice. Most of the cabs were in excellent condition too - a couple were off and the screen for Time Crisis was wafty, but that was it.

    I have played the original Arcade cabinet of MORTAL KOMBAT once as a little boy at a former kiosk in Martinlaakso, Vantaa (Finland 🇫🇮) in 1993.
    Also, me and one of my old school friends played THE SIMPSONS: ARCADE GAME at the other former kiosk in Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮, in 1999.

      Yes it's a cool little place ☺️ Mortal Kombat & The Simpsons are both great games, they had them at our local swimming centre in the 90s.

    Looks an amazing arcade to visit with some legendary games to play. Got to love a bit of turtles arcade mate. I'm going to a retro arcade in sunderland tomorrow called spacebar with a friend and my son they also serve alcohol so it's a win win 🤣👍

    Looks fun mate, Nice to see Great Yarmouth still has an arcade along its seafront, One of the best things about Growing up during the 80s and early 90s Was travelling to the coast in the summer, Spending some time on the beach and having fun in the amusements or arcades And then coming home with a stick of rock 😂 If you run a summer holiday have a great 1 mate Add if not still have a great 1 😂

      Thanks mate, you're absolutely right that was my perfect holiday back in the day - we normally went to Devon or Bognor. We've just come back from a few nights in Norfolk, going to Dorset for a few nights next week 😊

    Ive been here a couple of times, its ok but only 25 cabs, and some of the monitors needed a good servicing the last time we went

    • @retrotap

      I quite liked it - it's small but it's a nice selection ☺️ One or two cabs were switched off but the rest seemed in pretty good condition when I visited other than one side of Time Crisis.
