A man called Stuart used to own El Dorado arcade when they had RWBs. He was mates with Darren from Isle Of Wight (superarcadia) so he knew what he was doing.

Best days in Clacton area were definitely around the £25 jp era. Loads of good hi techs and a few good lo techs. P1 Golden Games in Gameshow around the time aswell.

Magic City did have Alien for a short while but that was when it was all starting to go downhill. There were less playables and they were often dead. Whereas before you had more playables and they would often be ready. Stuff like BGT lo techs, Chuzzy Bar Xs, Hot Stuff, Golden Dragon, Do You Feel Lucky were nearly always ready. Also Ready To Rock and Italian Job 2 often had good money in them.

Most seasides are crap now. Felixstowe is another example of a once good seaside place which is now pretty much dead.

Yeah Power 5 remained unchipped for a good while. I was banned from Gaiety Arcade before they had Monopoly wedger and 2 sets of 35 Golden Games. A floor walker in Gaiety was playing in Gameshow and they saw me get unlimited nudges off both the Bar Xs. Went in Gaiety later and that worker was talking to the young manager and he came over and banned me!

Cabin Fever was in Seagull pub. Think its Devil Of A Deal and On The Fiddle.
