I'm not sure why, but it feels different somehow.

In Initial D you still get a free go after you win. Only one though. Based on my playing Initial D Stage 8 in an arcade recently.
Still a really fun game, but it's barely changed since ID4 really. I know some people hate that and say it's too easy etc, but I've always really enjoyed its gameplay.

The Initial D machine in Las Vegas (Soho) is set to one race and off... What a con. Oh well I have the PS2 game that I can enjoy in the comfort of my own home lol
To be fair to Las Vegas, what they offer is terrific and unique. Conveniently located too.
The PS2 game is great, but on balance I prefer what ID4 had to offer. Sacrilege to some but there it is.Last edited by wakka; 10-08-2018, 21:12.

Will hopefully be going to Arcade Club with my son during the Easter holiday and bringing my sister and her husband along for the ride. Manchester is quite the mission from sunny Peterborough, so we’ll be staying at her’s for the weekend. Quite looking forward to visiting the Trafford Centre too for a little shopping.
Are there any decent independent game stores or comic shops around Manchester that anyone can recommend please?

The last two of three weekends we've tried tiring the kids out by walking round the Trafford Centre which meant three trips to Namco Station or whatever they call it now.
Halo: Fireteam Raven - The big four seater gunner game. It looks visually a bit ropey and I'm not sure how reliable the hits are but despite the big screen you only need to worry about your quarter of it. Decent enough but you're mostly paying for the unit than the game.
Cruisn' Blast - For what it is, and comparing it to the old ones, this is alright. The courses are distinct even if the gameplay is pretty basic and old school
Mario Kart Arcade DX - Just nice being able to try out a few courses, they've updated it to include Taiko no Tatsujin as well. Wish they'd doa cheap home port of these three.
Jurassic Park Arcade - Much like the Halo game, plays very similarly
Tomb Raider - Visually a bit wishy washy and though the unit is big the screen is a bit dated. However, the guns are fun enough with the reload assigned to pulling back the top of the gun which feels good.

For games you have Retro Play on the top floor of Afflecks Palace in the Northern Quarter and just down the road on High Street there's Entertainment Trader. Retro Play is a cool little shop but overpriced. Sometimes you can find a nice deal though. Entertainment Trader does not test their stuff, is overpriced and is currently having a closing down sale.
Arcade Club will satiate your lust for arcade games no doubt but there are a few cabs in Afflecks Palace and a barcade called NQ64 if you're interested (Crazy Taxi, Star Wars Arcade, 4 player Xmen & Outrun 2, Time Crisis, Point Blank...etc).
Namco Station in Trafford Centre was 90% ticket machines when I last went but as Superman Falls mentioned above there are still some arcade games there to enjoy. Mario Kart Arcade is aces
