i have many fond memories of Trocadero, its boring now. it used to have amazing attractions like The imaginator, F1 racing, Sega World and Alien War! i was about 17 at the time they were around, and it was so futuristic at the time unlike now
@rapidkid28 Not everything is gone, I went there yesterday mate... HMV has a gaming place now which means there was no need of the other 1 that was just a gaming place.. and there's an arcade on the lowest floor and some on the middle section, check it out.
@pr0lite are you serious coz i went there 2 weeks ago i know theres a hmv but no gaming place all i saw was some tokyo shop,candy shop and panda shop but i didnt see an arcade on the lowest floor :( but that was ok because i went namco station instead :)
@pr0lite what!!! all i saw was a hmv store not one of them console things anyways if you have xbox give me your gt and i play mw2 alot aswell but im not as good as you say you are
every arcade i have ever been to in the uk have always seemed to attract dodgy people. i'm nto saying everybody who goes in them are dodgy but they certainly seem to draw dodgy people. MY experience has shown they are places that make people angry from spending all there money. My experience has shown they tend to attract some nasty people. i really wouldn't want my kids hanging in these places alone
@210482fmj Sorry to hear that mate. I made so many good friends there and wouldnt have had employment and travelled the world without arcades. A lot of us used it to learn to dance and enter pro events aswell. I guess the minority always ruin it for the rest of us.
@toby7ten IT was different in the early 90s. ALso it is not a minority. YOu usually find the minority in these places are the nice people. At the end of the day these gambler machines have triggered assaults on kids from grow ups. SOek little kid pushes a button a a persons machine and that psycho loses it and then assaults that kid for messing his game up. THese gambling machines cause nothing but trouble
@210482fmj I grew up in arcades since the 80's lol,. the 90's formed the majority of that part, in Brighton, London and Sheffield. I'm 32 next month, My best memories are from 80's & 90's gaming the friends I made then. I guess everyone has different life experiences.
It's deserted a lot but that's why I like it. Especially in the mornings. It's a joke to most Londoners though. They're refurbishing it now. Dunno what they're doing. The cinema is cheap to get into during weekdays before 5pm. Well, compared to most places.
