What counts as an arcade in Emmen

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.

Emmen sits about 53° 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.

Arcade smarts for Emmen

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

• Ask about free-play nights. Some venues run flat-fee evenings where everything's unlimited. The best value in arcading, when you find it.
• The classics are cheapest. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Bring friends for versus games. Fighting games, racers, shooters — all built for two. Solo arcading is fine; versus arcading is the point.
• Ask about tournaments. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.
