Retro Gamer’s Arcade Watch

Ever been to Berwick-Upon-Tweed’s Spittal Beach Arcade on a Saturday? Nope, neither have we. But if anyone’s wondering why it’s worth a visit, here are some exquisite pictures that were sent into us by Paul Blackwood (we think he’s the one pictured, playing the Sega Rally cab). He took a stroll into The Pavilion Family Fun Centre over the weekend and took a few snaps of some impressively pristine looking arcade machines. Cheers for the relatively easy blog update Paul.

Here’s a picture of the Pavilion Family Fun Centre. Apparently it boasts a snack bar, an arcade and a pool.

A Konami Simpsons cab in pretty good nick, we got Steve (our designer) to zoom in on that credit sticker and, yes, it’s 20p a go.

Our mistake, the Sega Rally pro in the picture is actually Paul’s son Luke. Would it have killed you to put your hand in your pocket though Paul?

A broken Prop Cycle machine ironically propped up in the corner. Apparently, Paul also spotted a Donkey Kong cab getting a donkey ride and the Ice Climbers clubbing a seal to death.

    The Simpsons: Coin Op was a very lucky find. :)
