Visiting a new arcade in the UK. (Patreon)

Hello, all!
I went to a pre-opening of Arcade Club in Leeds on Wednesday, and it was a pretty excellent experience! Here's a video I took with my HIGH QUALITY phone, so come and relive the highlights with me!
A lot of good old memories here - I wasn't expecting to see so many "old" old games like Defender and Stargate - two I used to really enjoy on my Atari 2600 console when I didn't have access to arcades as a kid. Obviously Capcom's Alien Vs Predator was a welcome sight too! I spent a while on that. And the 1983 Star Wars cabinet with the vector graphics!
I figured I'd take some footage in case the place vanishes and this is the last time we see these newly-restored arcade cabinates in their rightful setting - purple neon lights and all.
It really did feel like the old days.
