Arcade - Bobs Skerries

Optimus Prime

Yeh sunk a lot of money into that operation wolf myself. Sad to see it in a corner facing the wall when I was there ! I remember sitting in that knight rider car as a kid and the plane. That monkey machine with the prizes as well I can remember as a kid and a parrot thing they had too.

last time I was there that point blank was working but in attached building they have all the snooker tables in. They had an outrun in there too I think. That was a few years back now.

another thing I always remember from there is the kids “ferris wheel” just in with the amusements outside. I’ve a photo of my brother and me in it as kids and a few years ago we got a photo of our kids in it together. Unreal it lasted so long.

Those amusements are still there but mothballed.

Every time I see an Electrocoin Xenon I'm instantly brought back to the mid 90s. I don't think there's any other arcade cabinet in existence that has such a nostalgic affect on me. There's something about the bezel colours

I wonder is there a plan to reopen, would be nice is someone made contact as I'm sure there's plenty of stuff there still that could be enjoyed. A lot of arcade businesses seemed to closed during COVID and arcades generally couldn't open much at all especially during peak season but a few that seemingly closed permanently reopened recently.

It's not unfortunately I know who has it, and bobs didn't seem to have anything from 00's on from memory I think just before they closed they got Basketball and one or two bits.
