What counts as an arcade in Beaufort

A venue built around coin-op and pay-per-play games: classic arcades, bar-arcades, family entertainment centres with a real games floor. What doesn't count: the two dusty cabinets in the laundromat, and casino floors. The bar is a dedicated games venue you can walk into.

Beaufort sits about 32° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Arcades are gloriously weatherproof, and winter is peak season: when it's dark at five, the neon looks its best and the floors are busiest.

When arcades in Beaufort get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Arcade smarts for Beaufort

No mapped arcades yet, but the arcade skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Watch the regulars first. The high-score table tells you which machines are hot and who's worth watching. Fifteen minutes of watching teaches plenty.
• The classics are cheapest. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
• Ticket games are a tax. The prizes cost more in tickets than cash. Play them for fun, not for the giant plush — that's the most expensive plush alive.
