, posted Fri 19 Apr 05:07
I live in London.
Segaworld is gone, it was bought by Family Leisure who are the worst arcade operators in the UK and the whole place is a total dump now. It's now called Funland and is a complete joke.
Namco Wonderpark is gone, this was the best arcade in the UK, all the players from there now play in Casino in Goodge St (Goodge St station, Northern Line)
Casino has (Some) good stuff, GGX, KOF 2000, VF4, SSF2 Turbo etc
Namco Station near Westminster (Big Ben, London Eye) is awful, no players, no decent games.
Restaurants:......
China Town Piccadilly Circus has Wong Kei, which is V cheap and the food is excellent of you can go to Lido near there which is also good but expensive, or Golden Dragon.

Segaworld is no more, Funland which replaced it is a complete dump, with truly terrible games. The only game I used to play in there was Pump It Up but now even that is totally screwed and unplayable, I am actually banned from Funland along with most of my friends because they dont like black and asian people spending money there. It's generally full of triad wannabes and So Solid rudeboys who do nothing but hang around trying to steal phones and security guards who like to make themselves feel big picking on young kids.
Casino is, like I said near Goodge Street station (2 doors down)
Get onto the Northern Line to Goodge Street from Leicester Square, it's only 2 stops.
Casino is the only place in London where you will find true gamers, it's the only arcade worth visiting but that doesnt make it a good arcade. It's awful, dirty, smelly and dismal. The cabinets are terrible and no care is taken to ensure that the games are properly playable. But the people are all 1 in a million, everyone knows everyone there and it's always good to go down there to see familiar faces and it's pure laughter when people challenge.
