Info needed about Namco Wonder park at Westminster

Post by kennyrh »

I'm thinking about taking this in when I visit London next week . . .so can anybody tell me if the video machines there are worth a look. Do they still get all the new Jap games ??

I remember when it used to be at Grt Windmill St in Soho - in fact according to one London guide . . .it still IS !!!

Last time I went it had Marvel vs Capcom and Capcom vs SNK 2, MS4 and Outrun 2 in the "games that I would bother with" category (although I did have a quick go on Time Crisis 3 and Big Mutha truckers).

They have a massive old 3d thing too.

There were *no* shooters whatsoever.

Yes no 2D shooters there whatsoever.

The massive old 3d thing is Galaxian 3.

Galaxian 3 ?? . . .Marvel v Capcom ??

Blimey . . .not exactly up-to-date are they ?? I expect the Galaxian 3 rig is too expensive to rip out.

I'm disappointed with this news because when the place was based in Soho they used to get a load of new Jap games that you would never see elsewhere.

No shooters is a bummer too . . . :evil:
