The National Videogame Arcade: A time capsule of gaming's finest

By Gemma @Juicy Game Reviews

The National Videogame Arcade is located in Hockley, Nottingham, England

On Good Friday of the Easter break I had the pleasure of attending The National Videogame Arcade in Nottingham, England. Behold the huge sign in the image above that fronts the delightful cavern of historical pieces from the Video Game world. For a price of £7.50 (approx $12 U.S) you can float around three floors of some of the worlds finest arcade machines, fun and quirky gaming pieces (driving the light cars around the makeshift track was cool) and play some of your favourite retro consoles. My absolute favourite room was right on the top floor titled "A History of Videogames in 100 Objects" of which lay Hideo Kojima's Business cards. Not doubt his details are now defunct due to the recent split with Konami.

Let's take a peek inside shall we?
