Are their any video game arcades still running near where you live?
I'm lucky that there are still quite a few near to me.
In Southampton there is the proper SEGA arcade which is quite big, and there is a smaller arcade in an entertainment centre that has quite a variety of cabinets. The Megabowl also has a lot of cabinets too.
The arcade I used to visit a lot in Southsea (Portsmouth) is also still running and is quite large. And in Brighton the pier still has it's arcade with a lot of games and I think Worthing still does on its pier too, but I'm not 100% certain of that.
There also also a few more smaller arcades in the area I haven't mentioned. So on the whole for arcades it's still pretty good in the south.
