Gaming Arcade

Whats the last time you went to the gaming arcade? Well for me it was week a ago, had heaps of fun with the kids, ice cream & a great lunch. Looking forward to doing this more often. To be honest, every weekend. Well its the memories that lives on. I guess, a simple activity but many memorable moments follow. Nice family day-out. Enjoyable!

My tiny town will be getting an arcade this autumn and everyone is excited. There isn’t too much to do for the kids except miniature golf and bowling around here because we live out in the country. Keeping kids busy will keep them out of trouble.

A couple of weeks ago. We've got this cool company in New Zealand (maybe Australia too) called Timezone. So many different games and photo booths.

Well I guess so, I live in the city, so its all ‘hustle & bustle’ on my end. It's not quite a nature's walk in the park. But it keeps the adrenaline pumping. Keeps us going. I guess you make use of what’s best for you, around you. Its a great way to have kids put down their phones. Just fun! No electronics. Had a blast!

Yes, New Zealand had a go there once a long time ago. Yes pure fun! But thats long time ago when they had those gun attached to the machines. Those were the good old days. I guess I used them at Auckland Airport.

Meanwhile in Brisbane, Australia, in the land down-under they have reverted back into pokemon cards & their vending machines. So I’d go with the AB’s version of fun! Both are great but I’d go (NZ).

There are no arcades left in my area, sadly. Whenever I go somewhere that does have an arcade though I always make it a point to patronize that establishment for awhile. I love old school arcades, sadly the closest thing I have to an arcade is the two Arcade1up cabinets of Mortal Kombat 2 & Street Fighter that I have at home. I’d personally love to get a few more but I don’t have the space. 🙁
