Arcade tips for Ankara

A few things worth knowing before you work through Ankara's arcades:

• Bring friends for versus games at Bilardo Salonu. Fighting games, racers, shooters — all built for two. Solo arcading is fine; versus arcading is the point.
• Ask staff for recommendations at Blackball. Staff know which machines are new, which are broken, and which have the loosest tilt sensors. Ask.
• Go off-peak. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
• Test the controls before committing. Joysticks drift, buttons stick, guns misalign. One test credit saves a wasted game.
