  • During my recent trip to Blackpool myself OGDuffy and Mrs OG had a night out in Arcade Club in Blackpool. Arcade Club has several branches including Bury, Leeds and the one that features in this video... Arcade Club in Blackpool.
    Arcade Club features something for everyone including all the retro arcade classics from Atari, Taitio, Sega and Capcom to name but a few... And modern arcade games from Japan and with designated gaming areas for Xbox, Playstation and PC this is one amazing arcade venue.
    A restaurant and a nicely stocked bar makes Blackpool Arcade Club the ultimate retro gaming venue. So if classic arcade games are your thing then this full tour and review of Arcade Club, Blackpool is a must.
    Not just the arcade classic video games of yesteryear feature here but also some great pinball machines including The Mandalorian and Guns and Roses Pinball amongst other great pinball titles.
    And all these retro gaming arcade classics for one price and all machines set to free play is an absolute must visit... And did I mention there is a well stocked bar?
    Grab a beer get comfortable and let myself and MrsOG show you the sights and sounds of Arcade Club Blackpool with arcade gaming and classic retro gaming plus a good few beers...

    I remember telling you before about the Arcade History Museum in Krakow, and my favourite new discovery there -- along with a rhythm title called Groove Coaster -- was Ice Cold Beer! It made me look into buying the machine, although after seeing the prices I decided to stick with the version I have on my phone for now 😆

Love the Taito games, they have so many classics. 2 of my favourite machines I didn't see was Total Carnage and WWF Superstars. But wow.
