PLAYLAND

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

COMMENTS: I remember Playland very well, located along side the Union shopping centre,even as a child my mother used to purchase wall paper from the near by 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 as you entered along the far wall-i used to love playing that game simular but in my humble opinion better than Galaxian but with the very last alien of each wave turning into a huge winged alien and 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 in Union St.
