osama_bin_athlon 0 Posted January 9, 2010 could be worth a look......do they have any pinball (asks hopefully) - I never really got into games back then, 'cept pool and pinball.... guess they're not really the type of gaming that they're talking about.

krispy89 19 Posted January 10, 2010 You could nearly walk there!Alas, if you live 60km from Sydney, walking might not be feasible. An alternate means of Transportation might be preferable :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also brought in 2 original Arcade cabinets, Dragons Lair and Gyruss. Flouncy really like's his arcade games. Also they had a outline of a PacMan arena and you could dress up as either the Pacman or a little monster.
