80's video shop!!

[Double_dragon]

Anyone been here? I know it's a video shop and not an arcade but they do have a wrestlefest, star wars and mortal Kombat machines, all free, run by a couple of guys with a love for video and all things 80's and 90's

Also a vintage toy shop opposite and a wetherspoons next door 😁 thought I'd say.

It's basically just a shop set out like a 80's video shop. Everything is big box ex rental. You can't actually rent anything it's more like a video shop museum. The guys in their love to chat about retro stuff. They do sell VHS players and have the odd video for sale. It's just a cool place to look round, takes you right back.

yes, its in Alfreton about 4 miles from me. Rob who owns the shop also rents out the savoy cinema at nottingham for screenings of old favourites. Theres an escape room in the shop based on the p7b from an american werewolf in london, as well as a small cinema room avail for private bookings. If anyones interested in the savoy showings, let me know and i will ask Rob about the next one.

AWIL is one of my favourite films. I must have watched it fifty times as a kid so I was dying to know what p7b referred to. An inside joke, a hidden detail, the hospital ward, a set label, a postcode?

I got this far before I realised it was a typo for pub!

Not sure if the escape room is still there

I live not far from Alfreton (That's the nearest town to me), I pass it at least twice a week and yet never gone!
Having a few afternoon beers at the Wetherspoon's and a look at the shop sounds pretty good to be honest.

Been to or through Alfreton too many times, clearly this guy needs PR as I've never heard of it Might have a few tapes for him too

Interesting think my dad has a fair few players left so may be a good way of moving them on to people who appreciate then, when he asks me. All the TV and video spares I have mainly got rid of already including on here ! I used to have so much video stuff posters and even the 3d posters made of plasstic e.g red Sonja. Posters like robocop and predator moved as I moved and gave up the ghost eventually !
