London, Brussels, Cologne

Hello, I'll be in these 3 cities from July 15th till July 30th. Would love to attend a meet up, shmups, fighting games or general arcade games. Also would be interested in any type of retro game convention.

Google Heart Of Gaming in Croydon, should be a nice first-time visit for all sorts of gaming

Thanks for the info. Didn't go there, but when I went to Brussels, I hit the Pinball museum which was also a nice spot. You're only a couple hours from it on the Eurostar. You should hit it up.

There's a new Pinball Museum opened up a few hundred metres from my house in Brussels.
Tons of Pinball machines on a pay per hour deal, and a Pandora's Box with good sticks. Plus a Star Wars Battle Pod machine.
The Battle Pod is spoiled by the fact that every credit ends upon completion of a stage. Money-grabbing game . Shame.
As for London, I'll be there this week and next. The Central London arcades are all slot machines now and Hog in Croydon is probably the only venue for arcade games now.

Yeah Heart Of Gaming pretty much the only place to go for London.

FreePlayCity - https://maps.app.goo.gl/7gQWNBfzzVqq1V6b6 - is another worthy shout for London venues!

Thanks fuse.

Looks interesting. I see fighters and other games, but no shooters (in the tripadvisor link). I'll ask my Central London mates about it.

Cheers
