Arcade game enthusiast and YouTuber Alex Crowley has fulfilled his dream of opening an authentic, hands-on arcade museum in Stroud.
Set in a beautiful Grade II-listed mill, Arcade Archive is a curated exhibition of hands-on arcade cabinets from the Golden Age of coin-op gaming.
From early electromechanical machines of the late ‘60s like the Wild West cowboy-themed Gun Fight and the genre-forming, coin-munching ‘70s video game titans Pong and Space Invaders, up to the gorgeous sprite-scaling wonders of the Ferrari driving thrills of OutRun and motorbike racing Super Hang-On, the museum touches on the many impressive advancements in arcade gaming during its most formative period.
