UK 3 Floor retro arcade

Evenin. 

I just had to share this with my old homies. Been over to Leeds today to visit "Arcade Club." 3 floors of old-school, new-old-school and Japanese arcade madness. Seriously - I wondered around in a daze + 5 hours felt like 1. And they served Brew Dog Punk IPA!

At last the UK has something awesome. They tried it a while ago in the smoke with the Heart of Gaming, but I think that flopped. They have another two in Blackpool and Bury, Manchester. 

Sorry @Tom Speirs, I know you're 'darn sarf' but if you're ever up this way ('ooop norf') give me a shout and I'll take you on at Tempest...

Oh, and they had these in the bogs:

a) Even the deodorant was 80s...

b) Instead of darkened room full of sweaty adolescents, it was one full of sweaty middle aged men... (a bit like Parliament)

Good to see you about! Here in "the States" some places have closed while others are thriving again.  The Circle of Life I guess.  Why does the circle seem to tighten and speed up as Life gets later... and why is there a urinal cake in my path?

I mean, you can work up a sweat having an intense MK battle with a buddy. If you're on the top floor, with 2 floors of arcade games beneath you, those deodorant sprays are probably a good call!

Hey stigzler you finally got chance to to check the place out!

It's is great down there, and there's a decent pub by the river too. What more could you need?
