Information
Quite a strange arcade, its like an arcade warehouse of random machines, fake grass floor around most of the arcade and carpet around back. There is a lot of small kids rides and redemption machines, too many to count.Around the front extension part theres mostly 2p/5p/10p machines with a bunch of random machines, kids rides and EuroMix2.
Further in the back of the extension is Guitar Hero and EuroMix1 and more random machines, please note that with the stairs around there, the bottom of the stairs are liable to flooding (im not joking) so be careful.
Up the stairs you will find a bunch of racing games in the corner, more 2p machines and A3, actual carpet around here!
Rest of the arcade is mostly redemption, shooter, hamster wheel, etc.

DanceDanceRevolution A3 (North America) Location: Near the back, next to a bunch of the racing games Comment: A3 as of 13/09/24, used to be a EM2 with all of the artwork on the cab. Also had LCD conversion. 1P pads are concave making them difficult to hit while holding correct form, p2 pads slightly less worn with holds giving out on left and right arrows . Currently VERY loud volume with lots of bass, Not connected with e-amusement. | £1 / 2 songs, £2 for versus 2 songs | Moderate | |
Dancing Stage EuroMIX (Europe) Location: In the middle, opposite Guitar Hero Arcade, down the stairs where A3 is Comment: Has DDRMAX banner but downgraded to an EM1. Monitor has been replaced with dell monitor (but is 16:9 instead of the usual size so theres a gap on the top where screen should be), it struggles a lot with the idle mode video with music looping to try and keep up, it doesn't affect gameplay though. Has Japanese text on cabinet but is in english. For some reason, the left and right buttons are mirrored on the P1, aka clicking left will go right and opposite for right, a bit strange. | £1 / 3 songs, includes another player versus | Moderate | |
Dancing Stage EuroMIX2 (Europe) Location: In the area with fake grass, towards the west entrance Comment: Monitor changed to LCD but still glitching out - Stage unstable, pads are not sensitive. Lots of movement can cause cabinet to shake quite a bit. | £1 / 3 songs, includes another player versus | Bad | |

I really wish I knew what was going on with the A20 cab here. 3 months agoNerdaliciousTV
Absolutely brilliant cab, hopefully it gets updated to A3 or DDR World eventually. I did hear they are working on adding a FSR mod to the Euromix 2 cab. Absolutely amazing game by Konami. 5 months agoblitzen
yup, apparently euromix 2 cab is planned to be upgraded to A3 too 5 months agonamwen
holy shit they actually *converted* the cab? remember speaking with a lot of the operators there and usually the cabs are ferried between like 10 locations. can't believe they bothered to actually do an upgrade 8 months agomitth-bev-nuruodo
It must be 7 or 8 years since we've been to this arcade, as last time here was July 2020 and arcade was COVID closed. And with all the gentrification around Barry Island, as SO happy the arcade is as eclectic as it was before, with the bonus of a ddr A20 😍 💖 this arcade even more now lol 9 months agoblitzen
Its more of a random collection of arcade machines, like an arcade warehouse or smth but its cool i guess lol
