Arcade tips for Stuttgart

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

• End on a win at VRcade. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
• Test the controls before committing. Joysticks drift, buttons stick, guns misalign. One test credit saves a wasted game.
• Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
