Description
New Game Day
Another throwback to the eighties, this time we remember the summer holidays spent at the seaside, hanging out with friends at the local arcade to play the latest video games. Inspired by my own summers spent in West Wales, The Buccaneer Amusement Arcade still stands to this day, the sign might have been yellow instead of blue, I can’t remember exactly, I was too busy having fun.
New games would arrive and queues of excited children would wait patiently for it to be installed and switched on so that the machines could be fed with coin after coin while parents drank a coffee in the cafe next door. Times were very different in the eighties, this was a time when you could pilot a space ship, get lost in a maze, save the world from alien invaders and still join your parents in time for lunch.
Thanks for joining me in my memories and I hope it brings memories back to you too!
