What was rhe first arcade game people can remember playing?
The bar at Teesside Airport (of all places) had a Computer Space machine (generally accepted as the first proper arcade machine) so that was my first experience.
My next memory was my dad taking me to Crow's Fair at Eston Rec to let me play on the new craze that was Space Invaders.

Space Invaders in the old cafe on Middlesbrough railway station. Would have been the very early 80s.

Gauntlet was a great game. I remember the stress of having death chase you, or catching "it" which meant all enemies flooded towards you - think that was in gauntlet 2

No, we did a similar one in Liverpool though. Was £15 in and while they had some original machines, many were emulators and buttons or sticks weren't working properly so it was a bit gashanyone visited this place before?

It was a choice of 2 for me. Kung Fu Master and Track N Field.
Holiday camp in Lincolnshire as a 13/14 year old, so 88-89 ish absolutely unbeatable on Track N Field, all of the top scores/world records in every event, every day.
I've been going here recently, great fun. Some of the machines an their buttons need a bit of attention, but on the whole, lots of fun!
