Hi guys
Slightly short notice I know, but few lads wanted to meet up before the end of the year so I’ve decided to meet at The arcade club Bury Manchester on the Saturday 23rd November.
If you want to hang out play some games and chat with fellow arcadians, be there it will be good to see you.
Many thanks
Alex

They really need one of these places down South. You know, for civilised people!

I’d like to put some faces to names, and I’ve long wanted to visit an Arcade Club so I may well come along… but 4 1/2 hours each way means maybe not.

8 player Daytona though, so maybe!

What do you mean? Arcade Club, Bury is 'down south' for civilised people!

That's ok when I arrive I can pretend to be a different forum member and do some reconnaissance.

If it turns out Dave is an absolute machine, I wont reveal my true identity! (y) However he's the guy in that gif then i'll totally take him on :)

Or we could not fight

Or just have a local house meet which you will prob just ignore anyway.

You'd have thought someone would of opened one in the Midlands by now only problem is where, Birmingham it'd probably be burnt down in a week or emptied

Leicester no one wants to visit it seems and no one even talks about the old Leicester arcades apart from myself :LOL:

maybe further down would be good say Milton Keynes, easy to get too and far enough down for and give that place a reason for people to go lol

Some of us on Arcade Otaku had a mini meet at the HOG years back after a skinful at the pub first.

We used to have a meet every xmas in Central London too but its all dropped off now as Namco (Westminster Bridge) & Troc have gone.

EAG at Excel in Jan on the Wednesday is the un-official South meet.

There is a place in Milton Keynes called pixel bunker isn't there?
Just had a look and yeah, don't think they got any Sega Simulators though which is what would get me there or older sitdown cabs

Think they need to change the photo's though and get everyone out of the face masks :ROFLMAO:

For them southerners moaning about travel times just make a weekend of it and stay in Manc (or even Bury). The last tram from Bury to Piccadilly is just gone midnight. If you miss it then the next one is 5.48 so not too long to wait! Easy!
