Hey Guys!


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

I just wanted to say hello! My name is Pieter and I am a Arcade enthusiast from The Netherlands. About 3,5 years ago I started the hobby within a Dutch community and in the meantime I have collected 4 cabs. I have a NAC, Sega Naomi rebuild/MAME, Woody with 2 slot MVS and recently bought a racing cab resto project to build a Outrun 2 setup.

 

Recently I started to look for arcades to visit and noticed that information is scattered around the internet. Therefore I decided to start a project to create a map with all arcade locations worldwide on my website arcadeuniverse.net . Currently I already found 138 locations and I have set myself the goal to have 500 arcades on the map before the 1st of July.

 

Next to an Arcade enthusiast I am also a husband and father of 2 sons, oldest being 5.5 years and the youngest being 1 year old. Both of them share the passion of blinking lights and loud speaker so I am sure the guys will follow in their fathers footsteps :D

 

As said just wanted to say hi and love to hang out here to learn and read more about arcade gaming and sharing my knowledge with you guys as well.

 

Regards,

 

Pieter

Thanks for the welcome Jimmy (and all others of course) and thanks for the first Aussie arcade on the map! :D And a nice place it is. I love the Tolix barstools in yellow in combination with the rest. It looks great and vintagy!

Right now I managed to get 257 locations on the map of which 1 in Bruce and 2 in Melbourne. Are there not more Arcades in Australia? Any tips or suggestions are highly appreciated.

 

If you like the initiative please feel free to like the Facebook page here -> https://www.facebook.com/arcadeuniverse/

 

If you have locations in other parts of the world let me know as well.

Thanks for the additions guys and let's keep them coming, I want all Aussie arcades on the map as long as they are accessable for the public and have at least 10 working arcade machines available.

 

Currently we have 324 arcade locations on the map worldwide. Looking forward to finding many more! :D

Hi mate,how's the list coming along? pretty sure Like mentioned above, most of the arcades are now sitting in man caves and storages around the country, here is another bar called pixel alley, 95 Smith St, Fitzroy VIC 3065. I am still yet to check it out myself but Australia really needs some more old school arcade venues.

Hey Slayer, the list is coming along slowly but steadily. However with the 350+ (b)arcades that are now on the map I am sure there are plenty more. So feel free to let me know if you are missing some arcades. Specifically I am trying to get more locations from Canada. I am sure we still have not covered all of this. If someone knows some locations there that would be awesome.

Thanks for the suggestions Steptoe. I have added Nether World, they have an impressive collection. About Luna Park, do they only have pins? A youtube movie showed me they had arcade machines in 2008 as well but that was the only information I could find. Do you know if they also have gaming machines?
