I recently went to an arcade in New Brighton and was disappointed with what was on offer. Cutting edge video games? No chance! All coin pushers, fruit machines and run of the mill games you can play at home.

So my thoughts turned back to the 8 bit days, visiting arcades and then experiencing the home conversions for the Spectrum, Commodore and Amstrad.

I look at Space Harrier, Outrun, Buggy Boy, WEC Lemans and Paperboy, all games I played in the arcade and then purchased the home versions on.
