Jealous +1. >:(

And they were… all… free? All? Even the thing with the stepping on things? :(

What about the cookie? Surely you had to pay for the cookie?

Oh God, now I want a cookie. :(

Lorna – The cranes they supply to this country are so ugly its untrue. Nothing like the Sega UFO catchers. I really want to import one in to the country next year. I was completley trans fixed by them when i was in Japan

As if your words prompted it there are rumours Sega are going to unveil their new arcade board soon.

And welcome to the team :)

Brick People does look rather fun in a strange kind of way. Especially once a fair few sticky fingered oiks have got their hands on it and either managed to steal some of the bricks or they’re coated in a strange “child-slime” that defies all scientific logic or cleaning.

Well done first blog to the newest Ready up writer.

Anyway, those arcade games look fantastic. We only have two arcades out here that I know of. They just got their DDR machines upgraded to DDR Supernova 2 and meanwhile, you guys have DDR X with an upgraded cabinet. We still have machines that are like 5 to 10 years old that should have been retired years ago.

I miss arcades… Our University Union has a Time Crisis game, and a Dance Dance Something game… but not much else.

I should really visit the Trocadero again… ^^

Plastic brick game sounds bizarre! Other than grabber machines and a few games of a horribe 3d Streetfighter thing, I never really gamed much in arcades, probably because the ones on the local seafront were scary places. Welcome, btw :)

Dont worry Michael You’ll feel at home knowing that Trocedero does have a bowling alley, unless thats been closed down now like the upper floors (old SEGA zone).

Best London Arcade for me will always be Namco Wonderpark, which was near Piccadilly Circus, but then they closed it down to concentrate on the Namco Arcade at County Hall (nr London Eye).

Erm, the first paragraph? Yeah, that’s the one! With the mentioning of bowling alley-arcade combos. I was being ever so slightly tongue-in-cheek though.

And I am deadly serious about the texting.

^^ Dissing bowling alleys and arcades, how did you come up with that?
Are you serious, you don’t know what predictive texting is? Try wikipedia…

First, welcome! Second, are you dissing arcades with bowling alleys? I hope not because that’s the only type I’ve ever known and loved plus I would kick yer arse at bowling! Maybe. Third, you like Gallardo so you’re OK. Fourth, I’m going to the Trocadero with some of this lot later in the month and I am even more excited after reading this! You coming? Last, what is predictive texting?

I want to play Hummer!
OutRun and Sega Rally mixed together, thats just awesome. Though i bet i still win.

Some funny remarks in this post, i did chuckle at you being distracted by cookies and people confused/scared of YMCA :-p

Cant really say the Textminator sounds any good – definately would not ‘C U L8R’

Lets not get started on the subject of NFS, oh no no no… ;-)

I want to try brick people it looks fantastic. As for guitar hero if it does well there will be room for konamis other awesome game guitar freaks.

I wish EA would leave the arcade scene alone. They release utter shite arcade ports. There is slow down and ithandles like shit. Dunno about carbon though. it is better than the fast and furious games *shudders*

Dance dance X is going to be awesome the number of tracks alone will make me invest some time in it. I just hope they decide to release the updates in the west as its not been confimed as of yet :(
