TopLocation Information
The Trocadero has many machines scattered throughout the levels, but the majority of the machine are at the bottom of the centre.
TopMachines (Expand All / Collapse All)
| Music Game | Price | Condition | |
| DanceDanceRevolution X (Europe)
Basement Level, right hand side
Pads move a little, right pad is the better of the two. Left side is unplayable. All songs are unlocked. Edit data is available.
**Update: Right pad is also unplayable. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Bad | |
| Dancing Stage Fusion (Europe)
Back, back, back of the basement, round a corner, in a corner
Sound is loud, pads are responsive and screen is vibrant (though set to widescreen for some reason. Hardly detracts from gameplay). Arguably the best DDR machine to play on. Sometimes this machine can be set to free play. (I visited 26/8/12 and the machines was on free play) Also the P2 bar is a bit loose. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Good | |
| Guitar Hero Arcade (International)
Bottom floor, near the Deluxe time crisis 3/ Outrun
Works well on both sides. Sound is good and the buttons/strum works fine. | £1.00 for 1 song | Good | |
| Guitar Hero Arcade (International)
Next to the other GHA machine, near outrun2/TC3
This one is fine also, but the 2p guitar has a problem that as soon as you get star power, it is automatically activated. Other than that the machine is fine. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Good | |
| Guitar Hero Arcade (International)
Near paradise lost.
A third GHA machine, is this really necessary? Anyway just like the other two the machine is fine, with both guitars working well. This one is slightly quieter than the others. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Good | |
| In the Groove (North America)
mid´level outside hmv
running open ITG. has some additional packs but too many super hard songs *like 16 and up level. Needs more casual charts = level 9 to 11 or so. machine seems to be in good condition. i played BEND YOUR MIND today and hand plants were just fine. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Good | |
| Percussion Master (Taiwan) | £1.00 for 3 songs | Unknown | |
| Pump It Up PREX 3 (International)
Upstairs, the highest level.
Has a pump it up rebirth banner, but don't be fooled. Machine need to be rebooted for it to work. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Good | |
| StepMania Converted Cabinet (International)
Second Floor (by the Up escalator)
Has original OBG banner, runs an Exceed skin, but it has all DDR songs (I think they're all AutoGen, citation needed). Only have access to a few mods (speed, scroll, rush, and some other stuff). No USB slot which sucks because if it did, it would kill the Fiesta EX off in LV! Is said to be having the same treatment the machine downstairs did, keep your eyes peeled. | £1.00 for 3 songs | Good | |
| Action | Price | Condition | |
| Tokyo Cop: Special Police Reinforcement (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Other | Price | Condition | |
| Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga: 20 Year Reunion (North America)
GF | Unknown | Unknown | |
| Racing | Price | Condition | |
| Daytona USA (2P) (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Daytona USA (2P) (International)
Basement level
Twin cab but only the left one worked and the right one was turned off. The screen has the title screen lightly burned in. | £1.00 | Moderate | |
| Daytona USA 2 (2P) (International)
Next to Silent hill the arcade.
The sound on this machine is very quiet. | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| GRID (Twin Cab 2P) (International)
Basement level
Twin cab both working great, responsive and has force feedback. | £1.00 | Perfect | |
| Manx TT Superbike (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| OutRun 2 (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| R-Tuned: Ultimate Street Racing (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Sega Rally 3 (International)
Bottom floor, Next to DDRX and Typhoon
2P unit. I asked one of the guys who was playing it, (he played 1p side) he said that while the steering wheel was sticky, it responded well and the brake/accelerator/clutch were good. 1P should be in a similar condition. | £1.00 | Good | |
| Sega Rally Championship (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Sega Rally Championship (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Star Wars Episode I: Racer (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Rail Shooter | Price | Condition | |
| Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Crisis Zone (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Paradise Lost (International)
Very back, opposite silent hill
Was turned off when I visited. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Broken | |
| Point Blank (International)
Ground level
Screen is broken with wrong colors and distortions. Aiming probably won't work. | £1.00 | Bad | |
| Point Blank 2 (International)
Basement level
You get five lives. The guns were alright, but for some reasons, only hits will respond on the right hand side of the screen, shooting the left hand side does not work for some reason. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Bad | |
| Razing Storm (International)
Bottom level, near the middle
Alright. The pedals work fine but the guns feel a bit misaligned. Its not unplayable but just bear this in mind. Also remember the guns are very heavy on this machine. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Moderate | |
| SILENT HILL: THE ARCADE (International)
Basement level, right at the back down the stairs.
Well first off, the safety message is burnt into the back of the screen. Then the guns are completely screwed up, sometimes not shooting, shooting way off where you aimed, making this game far less fun than it could be. A shame. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Bad | |
| Star Wars Trilogy Arcade (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Terminator Salvation (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| The House of the Dead (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| The House of the Dead 3 (International)
Basement, right hand side of the left hand side. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Unknown | |
| The House of the Dead 4 (Standard Cab) (Europe)
Basement Level
Three lives and three grenades on start. While this machine used to be good, time has not been good to this machine. P1 gun is broken and p2 gun is misaligned. Play the one next to it. | £1.00 | Bad | |
| The House of the Dead 4 (Standard Cab) (Europe)
Basement level, all the way back downstairs
Five lifes and three grenades on start. Both guns are misaligned (p1's goes to the right, p2's goes considerably up) However, it is playable despite these. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Moderate | |
| Time Crisis 3 (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Time Crisis II (International)
Middle floor, near claire's
This machine is really peculiar. The machine seems to add credits randomly when it wants to, and then sometimes takes away your credits. The credit lights don't work either. As for the guns, the p1 goes slightly higher than where its aimed. The p2 gun is aligned though. Very peculiar. | £1.00 (£1.00 to continue) | Moderate | |
| Time Crisis II (International) | £1.00 | Unknown | |
| Simulators | Price | Condition | |
| Typhoon Mad Wave Motion Theater (International)
Near DDRX, bottom floor
Machine worked very well, the sound was good and both the visual and wind/rumble effects work well. Appears quite new. (arrived within the last month or so) | £1.00 | Perfect | |
| Tables | Price | Condition | |
| Hockey Table (International)
GF | £1.00 | Unknown | |

BF | £1.00 | Unknown | |

guys - good news for all ITG fans out there. The old in the groove cab is being fixed as we speak. I spoke to the person responsible for the machines today (a loooong chat we had - a good guy called Fabio. Apparrently a man has gone to get some stuff for the ITG 3 machine today (Nov 10, 2012). We might even see a new screen on that cab!! I m going there again next saturday to check it out.

Its a shame, because several of the cabs there could be good if they decided to fix them.
EDIT: I added some more machines I remember seeing/using while I was there
I still don't understand the need for 3 GH arcade machines within about 50 meters of each other...
As for cab treatment, I can agree to that, (rail shooters especially, almost all are in HORRIBLE condition) except for the racing games, most of them seemed to be in good shape (although im not into racing games so I didn't try them for myself, but there were plenty of people playing them while I was there.)

Ah, that's a bummer that they don't treat the HotD4 cab. It worked very good and I had lots of fun. Doesn't seem that Trocadero looks after the cabs.

you have to keep going past the DDR X until you get to the back of the arcade and it turns back up in a U shape past the little dodgems arena. The Fusion is right at the end of the U. i'm probably making it sound more complex than it really is.
