Arcade tips for Barnsley

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

• Bring ear protection for kids at Retrodome. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
• Ask staff for recommendations. Staff know which machines are new, which are broken, and which have the loosest tilt sensors. Ask.
• Weekday mornings are empty. If you want a machine to yourself for practice, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
• Learn one game deeply. Regulars pick a machine and master it. Chasing high scores on one game beats dabbling across twenty.
