Sphere Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphere Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Guys, In the meantime I have managed to map 165 arcade locations on the map worldwide but I have none / zero for Australian. Is there anyone who can help me with some Australian arcades? Regards, Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini2544 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Most arcades in Australia are now private MANCAVES. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 http://www.timezone.com.au Mostly redemption machines nowadays, but also the old fashioned machines like the hoops shooting games, and BIG arcade games (hydraulic, 4 player light gun etc). And a few pinball machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphere Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini2544 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 You have the pinball MUSEUM in Nhill Victoria but the name is not true reflection, all machine are playable for a $1 coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Slayer- Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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?
