Welcome to another edition of Location Watch. Here, we take a look at all of the new arcade locations that have opened (or will soon open) their doors in recent times. I also will have an article on an upcoming pop-up arcade in London, I’m just waiting for one more piece of information before going with that.

For the arcade machines that you can expect to find on the premises: Amidar, Arkanoid, Asteroids Deluxe, Berzerk, Block Out, Burgertime, Centipede, Defender, Donkey Kong (and DK Jr.), Double Dragon II, Galaga, Gauntlet, Gauntlet Legends, Gyruss, Joust, Jungle Hunt, Kangaroo, Kung Fu Master, Lethal Enforcers, NBA Jam, Pac-Man & Ms. Pac-Man, Popeye, Qix, Radikal Bikers, Rampage World Tour, Robotron 2084, Sinistar, Spider-man, Spy Hunter, Steel Gunner, Tapper, The Simpsons, Track & Field, TRON, Virtua Fighter, X-Men, Xenophobe, Zoo Keeper and many more.
