I love your channel mate.Ive been looking for info on local Glasgow/Scottish arcades online,but thers just a few old pics and very little info.Your vids are way better+informative.Im planning on visiting some arcades on my week off next week and your channel is perfect.Its good to hear it from a fellow Sega fans perspective too :-).Where do you think I should try first? (preferably nearer Glasgow). ps Keep up the good work
Best thing about the Laser Quest at Haymarket? It has 3 arcade machines, all of them classic Sega titles: Crazy Taxi, SCUD Race and Virtua Striker 2 (ver.2000)
I can still remember my mate Scott (who had all the consoles as soon as they were released) sitting playing mortal combat at the funpark and he knew all the fatalities. As i said months ago bring a retro arcade to porty and it will make good money
Hey, thanks! Glad these videos are useful for some people :) To be honest, there aren't many we'd recommend, and a lot of the arcades have changed even since we did our videos - that F355 Challenge 2 machine in Portobello is gone now, for instance. Tenpin in Edinburgh still has OutRun 2 & a few other Sega machines, so it's worth a look. Good luck! If you find anything good in Glasgow, please let us know.
Its a shame that the owners dont put stickers on saying faulty or switch them off! I bet if they bought in some solid retro cabinets with games like shinobi and golden axe they would make good money! Even at 50p for 2 credits then that money could be spent on new games like rambo gun cabinet etc

Great video! In Crazy Taxi, how does the frame rate compare from the arcade machine to the Dreamcast?

you sir are a legend.
great report !!!
Portobello is a dead place shutting down arcades for housing. Soon there will be nothing left in scotland. Absolutely grim
@Scottish Retro Tournaments everything to fuel that gambling addiction
I'm going there tomorrow
Thanks for the tip!
I live in portobello
lol i live next to portobello beach!
