NAME: ? - Bull St Arcade
TYPE: Arcade
LOCATION: Bull St-opposite Multi-story car park
COMMENTS: Another old memory for us here,this arcade was a classic,dark inside and the smell of warm chip-board and fag smoke from the arcade cabinets. I remember the arcade cabs being along the left wall on entering with a cocktail straight ahead (Space Phantoms),this building stands out in the row of shops as it is narrow and set back from the rest of the shops,it now appears to be part of the business located next door CM Electrical Wholesalers so they i imagine at some time they have expanded into what was the arcade.
Just a few pointers here....Astro Fighter was in a cabinet with U.F.O on the marque so at that time we just thought of it being an AF bootleg called UFO,also there was a Magic Spot cab and i had strong memories of the game until i played Magic Spot on MAME many years later and now are convinced it could have been a different game inside back then. I recall Cosmic Guerilla being there and are almost certain Astro Invader was too and so that is also included.
