Pleasure Island Family Amusements

Information

Pleasure Island has the least amount of video arcade machines here, as half the arcade is made up of 2p/10p/ticket machines. However, this does not mean there are no good games here, as there are several of interest.

Games

Music GamePriceCondition
Guitar Hero Arcade (International)
Location: Next to the other machines.
Comment: Far too loud, makes the nearby arcade machine diffucult to play if someone is playing this. Also there's only one guitar.
£1.00 for 1 songBad
StepManiaX (65" Deluxe Cabinet) (International)
Location: Near the entrance closest to the mini golf. It's absolutely massive
Comment: P2 connection is borked, will randomly disconnect (all red panels). Coins may randomly decline, works most of the time tho. Fully online with newest updates. [13/08/2025] Appears the operator or distributor has attempted to spot weld the bars to the stages but not done a good job, (no idea why either) P2 bar wobbles pretty badly. Could do with increasing volume, but is just loud enough, as surrounding machines are louder and drown it out. Excellent consistantly sensitive pads all round, especially for no bar players!
£1.00 for 3 songsGreat
PlatformersPriceCondition
Donkey Kong (International)
Location: Opposite DDR Euromix, on the right side of the arcade
Comment: This is a special MAME cabinet which has a Donkey Kong Marquee. It has over 50 games including Pac-man, Galaga, Dig Dug and 1942. The machine lets you preview a game before playing it. P2 joystick is a little loose and P1 joystick is too stiff. Buttons all work fine though.
SPECIAL CABINET (Read for details)
50p play/ 50p Continue depends on game.
Great
RacingPriceCondition
Ford Racing: Full Blown (2P) (International)
Location: In between Sega touring car and need for speed.
Comment: Plays ok, P2 side isn't working currently though. Has had several issues throughout the last few months in reference to the I/O.
£1.00Moderate
Need for Speed: Underground (International)
Location: Near sega touring car championship.
Comment: Both sides seem to work ok, have never seen anyone attempt to use a global vr card so I have no idea if the slots work.
£1.00Great
Super Bikes (2P) (International)
Location: The far right of the arcade, next to Sega TC
£1.00Unknown
Rail ShooterPriceCondition
Aliens: Extermination (International)
Location: On the far right as you enter.
Comment: New to the arcade, hasn't been touched by the look of things. Assuming perfect unless otherwise.
£1.00 / £1.00 to continuePerfect
Terminator Salvation (Unknown Model) (International)
Location: Next to Alien Extermination
Comment: Brand new machine, perfect.
£1.00 / £1.00 to continuePerfect
RedemptionPriceCondition
Deal or No Deal (International)
Location: On the far left of the arcade, just to the right of the bowling.
Comment: The sound is clear and all the buttons work and respond well. No problems here.
£1.00Perfect
SportsPriceCondition
Bowlingo (Europe)
Location: Left hand side, right at the back in its own section
Comment: Is cheaper than the bowlingo in golden horseshoe and better, although you can still get dodgy pins and lanes, you can at least use proper bowling balls here. Lane 2 works the best so play on that one if you can.
£1.00Moderate

Played the SMX Deluxe for second time, including teams and full, pads in excellent condition for me, as a no bar player.

So the machine crashed today after I played stomp to my beat, was a CD error. Would avoid playing that song as it didn't happen when I didn't pick it.

Fusion has finally gone, hopefully a new mix can arrive?

Had a serious conversation with the manager (the older guy) today (January 28th 2012) and asked him to replace this crappy EuroMix machine with an In The Groove 2 (dedicab) or at least some decent newer version. The man was very happy about my feedback and said "he'll see what he can do". (he sounded like he generally cared)....so yeh...you guys do the same and im sure we'll have an ITG machine soon:)

Sometimes, if it is sunny in the area, the arrows are hard to read.
