Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

Goodge Street Station, almost right next door, is a really crappy looking arade called "Arcade Casino Centre" or something like that. Big yellow sign (69 Tottenham Court Road).

Downstairs they have a shedload of hideous sit down Eletrocoin machines, but they can be forgiven as they have a perfect seletion of games!

They have Blazblue (comedy sight-mod - LCD gaffa taped into the cabinet!) which I played and is a bit meh (pound a go! ).

They have KOF '98 Slugfest, Neo Colisseum, Super SF2, and loads of other good fighters.

I'm no Cave buff, but they had at least two Cave shooters, including what I assume was Muchi Muchi Pork as it had loads of little pink pigs flying about!

I'll try and go back next week and take a camera this time.

Yeah, that's Casino (used to be the old Electrocoin test location back in the day), and that was indeed MMP. They've had Ketsui in the past, too.

I think you will find this is a very popular and very well known arcade in London second only to The Trocadero Piccadilly, yes it does have Pork. it has been there forever I can remember going in at least fifteen years ago.

I did not know that. I've been in before a few times, but didn't know anything about rarer import stuff like ave games at the time, so it just all looked a bit run down. Now that I can see the games for what they are, i.e. awesome, I'm dead chuffed I went in again.

The Trocadero is my lunchtime haunt (I work in Leicester Square). It's nice it's so lose, but it's a shame it's so ****!

How close to Beaumont Court is it?

about a mile

Glad someone has found this useful! Try not to be repulsed by the Eletrocoin cabs...

Eh it'll be something to play while I'm there

I think I am gonna have to check this place out

Starks out.

when ive sold carts in the past ive had people from casino (or people buying for them) trying to buy carts off me

Drove past it on Friday afternoon...

Went into Casino today, and they had a nice new pair of Delta 32 with SF4.

Proper sticks, or bat tops?

Proper sticks, and they where exactly 24mm long. And the humidity was 56%, it was exactly 4.13.25 GMT and there where 4 others present.

Or in other words - how the fork should I know?! I don't have a photographic memory!

Well, you would know really, considering that bat tops look like this and proper ball tops look like this.

Har har. I didn't play the thing, i just walked past it on my way to get some Porky goodness courtesy of Cave...

Having watched the kidz playing in Trocadero though, i can tell you that the SF4 set in there now has one red gumball and one green bat-top.
