Information

Seaside arcade situated on the Marine Parade on the Yarmouth Seafront.

A fairly big complex that got expanded into where Yesterday's World was in 2016. Includes redemption/ticket machines, videos games, a gambling area, pushers and of course the ITG machine. It's gone through quite a few changes in its lifetime but is still very well taken care of and is worth a play if you're in the area.

StepManiaX DX installed March 2024!

- Nearest public toilet: opposite the arcade in the Marina Centre

- Nearest ATM: in the arcade the ATM charges £1.50 for withdrawals. The nearest free ATM is in town, around a 10 minute walk.

- Closing times: the arcade usually closes at 10PM, but at peak times during the easter/summer it stays open later.

As of 23/02/2020 still no USB ports. Asked about them and staff member seemed rather confused so maybe I caught wrong person

6 years agoMattie
Yeah, really hope they put them back soon..or at least just update the hell out of the cab.

Wait really? well that's annoying.

I asked today where the USB ports went, and turns out some silly corrupted the machine recently via the USB port so they tucked them away from public use...

Cabinet still seems to be running lovely after all these years. Still a big selection, but looks like the songlist hasn't been updated for a while to say the least (DDR X is the latest official pack, and all songs still use the old scaling system). One of the employees I had a natter with after told me that he hasn't been given permission to tinker with it and add new song packs, so be sure to bring your custom songs! (:

Fantastic cab running ITG2 theme. Pads perfect, although after some idiots have played they usually aren't quite the same for a while. Well taken care of, nearly too many songs to count, and doubles premium is enabled, so you still play for 50p.
Unfortunately is right at the entrance, so nights and holidays have a tendency to attract a lot of idiots. Be warned of that, it gets more than annoying.
