Timewarp Arcade in Bridgwater, Somerset,

[Console Compulsive]

There is a fairly new arcade/pool hall that has opened in Southend on Sea town centre called Astro City. They have a mixture of retro and more modern machines as well as fruit machines and a couple of pusher machines. 

They also run the occasional retro all-nighter, Nintendo Street Pass events, Rhythm gamming events (Dance Dance Revolution etc..). There is also a café/bar selling refreshments and a Jukebox.

Astro City

Here is a list of some of the retro arcade machines that they have.

Gauntlet
Pac Man
Donkey Kong
Street Fighter 2
Street Fighter: Third Strike
Pac-Land
Gauntlet Legends
The Simpsons (2 player Jamma cab)
Super Mario Bros.
WWF Wrestlemania
House of the Dead 3
Fighting Mania
Daytona USA

There are also some Japanese bullet hell shoot 'em up's in Naomi Cabinets but I'm not sure of the names.
Anyway, this is a great little addition to the existing arcades in Southend so please visit them.

That's cool!  We have arcade machines at movie theaters and certain types of restaurants in the that cater to entertainment for families.

A curious question for you Trek, do they have any Chuckie Cheese restaurants near you etc and if so, do they have any classic arcade games in them? Isn't Chuckie cheese about video games and eating? Just curious about the or if anyone else here who lives in the States tell us about any vintage or modern arcades near were you live.

There are a few chains like it.  We do have Chuckie Cheese and Dave & Busters.  I don't go there often but they did still have classic arcade machines when I last visited.  They certainly do at the movie theaters.  I just checked the Dave & Busters page and they do list classic games:  http://www.daveandbusters.com/games/play-for-fun/

Q. How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

A. None. That's a hardware issue.
