HAVE A GAME OF SUPERPROD: THE 11th KNIGHT!

We've had a right laugh playing through a new online game made by a Belfast fella called Dave Watson. In Superprod: The 11th Knight you have to rescue the teddy bears from the bonfires, it's brilliant craic and we loved in particular seeing some spots from our childhood where we played some arcade games like Rick's Arcade and The Stadium. Check it out at https://www.tinyflea.com/ and leave a donation if you like what you see!

NEW GAMES ARE COMING TO THE RETRO ROOM!

That's right we'll be changing things up for the summer next week and bringing some newly restored classics down for you to enjoy including some titles we haven't had in the arcade before. Excited? You damn well should be.

The air-con is on and we're keeping it cool, don't forget about us just because there's a blazing ball of heat in the sky now will you!

See you at the arcade
