PLAYLAND

NAME:  Playland
TYPE:  Amusement Arcade
LOCATION:  Union Square/Centre-Wednesbury

COMMENTS: I remember Playland very well,it was located along side the Union shopping centre and as a child my mother used to purchase wall paper from the nearby decorating shop located just further along outside the centre area near the steps which led down to `The Shambles`.As you entered the arcade i recall `Cosmic Alien` facing you along the far wall,i used to love playing that game and now own a Cosmic Alien cabinet of my own,it is similar to but better than Galaxian with the very last alien of each wave turning into a huge winged demon swooping down the screen with a loud and distinctive beeping sound....great stuff! wow smiley
Later on with the demise of the union centre area Playland moved around the corner into Union St.
