At a mates barbecue last night we got on to talking about the old amusement arcades at the seaside and someone mentioned this old game - I used to spend about half my holiday money pretending to be a U-boat captain sending allied shipping to the sea bed. When you fired, a series of lights under the sea flashed showing the track of the torpedo. Any one else remember these?

I do indeed is that the Belgrano in the background))

Likewise,spent too many pennies playing those as a youngster....

That looks quite immense! Curses to my young age.

I remember throwing all my pocket money into these things.

I also spent most a college grant/bursary on afterburner and the star wars arcade game that you could sit in.

Walking the dog the other day, I passed a dumped and smashed, gutted "space invaders" frame/machine. Sad...

There used to be a huge one at Penarth with 5-6 periscopes and convoys of 30 odd ships.

I was only about four and loved it.

When I was young we spent our time digging Anderson Shelters.

Later we got Space Invaders



Then we had rape.

Rape, ah, happy days. See our website for details.

It was a machine casing like that one, that I passed the other day.

I think I've still got a Binatone home game kicking about in the loft.
