Brighton Pier (The Palace of Fun)

Information

Brighton Pier has 2 arcades, this one is The Palace of Fun.

As of 2025, you need to pay £2 to get onto the pier from April to August, or on weekends during March and September (unless you are a local resident and have a card to prove that).

The Dome Listing: https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/arcade.php?id=4417#summary

Decent selection of games. The DDR A20 machine is pristine whilst the condition of the EuroMix machine is questionable

The pinballs almost always have spare change in them (or a full credit if you're lucky!), and you get 3 games for £2, almost good enough value to make up for the disappointment of them being stuck offline

was there in June 2011 (last year) and remember crappy pads, but who cares, they are terrible mixes anyway, why dont they just buy Supernovas or even ITG ? instead of this shit. (its got like 23 songs on it, of which 20 are horrible
