Grays Amusements – Mundesley, Norfolk

Driving along the Norfolk coast road on a summer’s day always evokes that OutRun feeling.  This is especially true for Walcott on the North Norfolk coast, where the road runs parallel to the beach.  After a beach day in Walcott and some fantastic fish n chips at the Kingfisher Fish Bar, we visited Grays Amusements in Mundesley, a short drive up the coast.


The arcade now has a retro section.  It’s great to see some classics in an arcade not far from home. 


The retro section comprises of Defender, Space Invaders Part II and two pinball tables, Fish Tales and The Adams Family. 



Both Defender and Space Invaders were in fantastic condition and played well.  I love the Space Invaders artwork.




The games were £1 per credit. 


The arcade still has a decent selection of more modern titles.  We enjoyed a few credits on Sega Rally 2, Soul Surfer, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade and The House of the Dead III.



With Grays Amusements being my nearest retro arcade and the prospect of them getting more classics in the future, we look forward to more coastal drives to Mundesley.
