Located @bananablockni๐ Belfast's retro arcade & pinball experience. Estd. 2022
Who's a fan of ATARI Missle Command from 1980? ๐๐ฏ
This is one of our favorite machines on the floor for sure. That beautiful wood grain, the cone buttons with trackball controls, and the ability to just sit and chill over a good game with a friend ๐ฅฐ gotta love a good cocktail
4 pints deep and unlocking Godzilla multiball! ๐ป๐ฅ

Honestly we get to play the odd game in the arcade at the same time you guys do at our events ๐ซฃ
It's all testing, fixing, researching, moving and breaking most of the time in arcade land. ๐คฃ
