@DiaLancea Yeah it was weird! I tried everything but it didn't seem to be working, it was like it was recently played and had a credit still going but nothing registered. It did have voice samples and stuff too from what I could hear, next time I'm there I'll try and get a video of it :')
@DiaLancea Yeah it really bums me out. Feels the same about a lot of stuff I see around the town, some of the hotels still have all the tables and stuff set as well. Owners are probably long gone at this point but it is still quite upsetting.
@DiaLancea I was living on Marsden Road at the time, this was back in 2005 and I'm not even sure I knew it was there either :') Despite passing it almost every day, it just doesn't look like one at all. In fact I don't think I ever even went inside.
@DiaLancea I think I took a photo of that actually on my way back, I liked the exterior enough to get a photo but I was so brain melted I didn't know what it was lmao
@DiaLancea Ah I didn't know it was still around, I need to maybe look into spending like a solid day in Blackpool and explore it properly. Maybe do an overnight stay at a hotel or something if I can find something that doesn't look like I'll enter it and never leave.
@DiaLancea Yeah that's mental, just a plot of empty land! Is quite sad to see so many businesses that I remember being around for years get shuttered as a result of new developments, but I think long-term it'll benefit the town.
@DiaLancea Ohhhhh makes sense actually, god my brain is just absolutely fried trying to figure out what it was. I don't think mere mortals are supposed to be exposed to arcades for six hours 😭
@DiaLancea Really?? I never knew that. I'm not entirely sure what this thing was, I swear it said it was licenced by Konami but it had a lot of Sega and Platinum tracks on there, plus a ton of vocaloid as well. Was an absolute bastard to play too, felt like my wrists were gonna break
@DiaLancea Ohhhh, no I didn't! I walked along the promenade towards south shore and then just cut across to where Arcade Club was :') I think I remember you mentioning about it getting knocked down tho, good riddance 😅
@DiaLancea Jeez, I mean fair play! Blackpool felt like it was going to the dogs for a while there, and I only had a quick mooch around when I got off the train but, it's good to see it actually having some proper work done on it at all
