A tour of the Arcade Archive Museum in Stroud and its historically important arcade game selection

The Arcade Archive has plenty of your AAA arcade classics from yesteryear, but also many historically important video games that played a massive part in the development of the UK and global arcades in the 1970s and 80s.

Go Visit: Chalford, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6 8NS

THIS PLACE IS GREAT!
It's got Gaming, history, and is an ideal venue to meet with friends (and meet new friends).
And don't forget to visit the 'cave' upstairs, which is chock-full of all video game consoles, computers, retro memorabilia, and crisps.
