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: In the middle, opposite Guitar Hero Arcade, down the stairs where A3 is Comment: **newly fixed up, now running A3!**, Screen has been replaced with a slim-border 55" monitor - DDRMax Japanese cab - (unsure of condition now), won't be put online. [NoBar 02/05/26] Pads seem better sensitive but are very sunken. The over stage is extremely unbalanced due to the uneven floor it's placed on. Not all feet can be put down leading to a lot of wobble, banging and unstable play on the right side. Especially evident when playing doubles. Does have doubles premium disabled though | £1 / 2 songs Standard Mode
£1 / 2 songs Doubles Mode | Moderate | |
| DanceDanceRevolution A3 (North America) Location: Near the back, next to a bunch of the racing games Comment: TLDR: Holds almost never work, p2 is better - Only bass, no trebble - 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. Not connected with e-amusement. [NoBar 02/05/26] The much better DDRA3 for NoBar, sensitivity is not as good as the other but the pads don't wobble all over the place.

2 days agoStaticFishAfter playing the upper back DDR A3 a bunch ive determined that although the pads are a lot better then audio being bass heavy makes it hard to understand some songs (and I'm just not that good at DDR)
3 days agoStaticFishCorrection for first sentence: Middle of arcade A3 is very bad for NoBar doubles due to uneven floor and very wobbly P2 side
3 days agoStaticFishMiddle of arcade A3 is very bad for NoBar doubles due to uneven floor and very wobble p2 wide. Upper back A3 has significantly better pads for NoBar doubles but the audio is very bass heavy. Both have doubles premium disabled which is rare and very welcome
1 year agoAMoosenA3 too loud!!
1 year agoAMoosenI really wish I knew what was going on with the A20 cab here.
1 year agoNerdaliciousTVAbsolutely 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.
1 year agoblitzenyup, apparently euromix 2 cab is planned to be upgraded to A3 too
1 year agonamwenholy 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
2 years agomitth-bev-nuruodoIt 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
2 years agoblitzenIts more of a random collection of arcade machines, like an arcade warehouse or smth but its cool i guess lol
