Great place with amazing games but I bought a graded slab and it slides open with no resistance

Had great fun here for an hour to break my sales shopping. Loved the variety of games like racers and classic button bashers. Downside was a few games were off and Need for Speed was literally hanging together by a screw! Still well worth it for a tenner. Would love it if you could get hold of Alien v Predator side scroller. Next time, will bring coins for the pinball

Quite a disappointing experience compared to other retro arcades I've been to. Over half the machines were either broken or not turned on and the selection that were working were not in great condition. I paid the full £15 entry fee and stayed for a couple of hours, but I could have easily just paid £10 for an hour as there was no way of checking how long people had been in there, and I'm sure a lot of people hadn't paid at all. It might be an idea to implement a simple paper wristband system to check people have a) paid and b) paid for how long they actually stay for.

Difficult to know where to start, took my 12 yo son and he loved it. Loads of different machines/types/era's represented, most playable, some on display. Loads more out back assumingly to repair/recommission/rotate in. Was a lot of fun and seeing my son playing duck hunt and Goldeneye was priceless. Great job guys, keep it up, more multilayer would be good, like TMNT or Double Dragon 🙂

Had lots of fun today at playback arcade - husband happy with the range of pinball machines (definitely worth the extra pay to play cost), I really enjoyed all the driving games, and we teamed up on the shooting machines. Friendly and welcoming staff and a great space to play board games too. Will definitely return
