Hi all 
I’m hoping the collective memory of the board or any former site ops might be able to help me track down the name/location of an East Coast campsite games room I visited in the early 90s (roughly 1990–1992).
A few things I remember about the place.. though there is a chance I may be combining memories..
Location: Almost certainly the East Coast (Norfolk / Suffolk / Lincolnshire coast area). It was on a campsite / caravan park setup where you walked down paths to a standalone games room block. Likely not one of the big campsite chains, likely to have been smaller independent place as we didnt have the ££ to go to butlins 😆
The Building: A dark-stained (black or dark blue) wooden timber building / pavilion hut. Crucially, it had no real external arcade signage—you just walked up to it off the site track, and entered through double wooden doors.
The Interior: Very distinct—it had worn, dark-painted wooden floorboards (no carpet whatsoever), with bare timber showing through on the main footpaths between cabs.
I remember TMNT was right in front of you as you entered. And I believe I also played Rygar and Ghosts N Goblins off to the right (maybe)
Im sure it is a huge stretch to find it, but I have a great memory of it being such a cool place with some great games at the time. Even though it was not a major high street arcade..
If anone has a hunch, or pictures of places matching the description from the time. I’d love to hear about it.
