Best Arcades in Glasgow?

[Spacecowboy]

Well now that my exams are over i'm free to play games all day long! But after reading the thread on arcades and Outrun 2 Special Tours i once again yearn for some arcade gaming!

But where are the best arcades? Selection and price? I take it its still ?1 per game?
I wouldn't mind getting some semi-old school action, F355 (even tho i have it on my DC), Scud Race and Daytona.

Booths on Union Street normally have a decent selection, not been in a while but they had F355 last time I was there.

Booths is dead, there's nothing in there now, they got Tekken 5 & Derby Owners Club in not so long ago but that didn't bring enough punters back in after everyone got bored to death with the already limited selection of games(i.e. Initial D Stage 2,Time Crisis 3 & Dancing Stage 2).

It's my guess that the guy who runs it (Paul Booth I believe) is one of the many clueless arcade owners across the UK who know **** all about what games to bring in to make a successful arcade, he got rid of all the beat em ups like Street Fighter 3,Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter & Virtua Fighter 4 and brought in ****e like Beachhead 2000 & some ****ty scootex game that noone ever played. On the plus side though I had top time on Akina Downhill on the Initial D machine before it got ditched for more fantastic fruit machines.

If you wanna play Outrun 2 the bowling alley at the Showcase cinema in Coatbridge had a 4 player Outrun 2 setup last time I was there, and they also had the single cab Ferrari F355 with the DC tracks & Virtua Cop 3.
