Arcade tips for George Town

The regulars' rules for George Town's arcades:

• The classics are cheapest at K.B. Fun. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Go off-peak at Toys Land. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
• End on a win. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
• Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
