Arcade tips for Napier

Hitting the arcades in Napier? Play smarter:

• Bring friends for versus games at Timezone. Fighting games, racers, shooters — all built for two. Solo arcading is fine; versus arcading is the point.
• Check for party packages. Birthday parties at arcades are a whole industry. If you're organising one, book ahead — weekends sell out.
• Save your high-score photo. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.
• Eat before the big session. Arcade food is priced for captives. Eat properly beforehand and save the budget for games.
