After a visit to london yesterday I found myself with a 30min gap until my train departed. There is an arcade directly opposite Kings cross station, can't remember its name, but its got to be one of the most intimidating arcades ever to play in, due to the number of eyes looking at you. It was one of those times when you were preying your money ran out so you could leave :-)

The second most intimidating one i've ever been in is an arcade at the bottom of west street, Brighton if anyone has everr heard of it. If you win a fair amount you prey the coins don't make a noise when collecting, lol

It is weird. Thats the one i was thinking, theres one a few doors up which is much better. Both used to have decent machines though, only reason i used to visit the one you mentioned. they used to always be this bloke of about 40yrs with a pony tail, always in there. I was always bricking it if i emptied a machine he was playing, half expecting to be mugged on the way home :lol:

DON'T use racist language in a forum like that, even if you do apologise for the usage beforehand. The statement has been deleted.


....got £20 out of the mob when it was 5p/£5...bloody had a crowd round me when i still had £2 worth of credits left! and the guards there do f*** all as well.

I apologize for my racist comments.

Rofl, up and down more than a pair of kangaroos in the mating season :)

I've moved this the mod zone, then back [after editing and discussion], and now it is back to the abyss.

Can't blame you, anything that might incite hatred or which is just way too far off topic deserves to be in here :D
