Berkeley and the Really Cool Retro Arcade

We met up with some friends called James and Emma and one of them owns a recording studio, so we went there!

So, If you don’t know I play the drums, so when we got to the recording studio (containing about a million different instruments, including a double bass, and a smoke machine!), I was quite excited. Even Mum gave the double bass a try!!

Also, in San Franscisco I have found this amazing retro arcade and have spent nearly an hour in it already! There are classics like Pacman and Space Invaders, to new games that no-one has heard about but are actually decent like Space Chalis and Area 51 Combat. There were also a lot of REEEAAAALLLLYYY old things like a mechanical farm and the old shooting range things. And it was all that for about 50 cents each!

But no Diarrhoea Dan for you real Look Around You fans!

  1. But surely *every* self respecting arcade has a version of Diarrhoea Dan! “THIS TOILET IS OCCUPIED BY A DRUNKEN POLICEMAN”. Classic!
