Alongside the usual penny shovers and other machines of modern money grabbing stood several machines from the earlier period of video gaming. Offering a trip to the past were Pacman, Track N Field and Space Invaders as well as a trio of Pinball machines. Worth a visit for those of a certain age to relive the 80s arcade experience.

Had a lovely day at Happidrome today, all the staff are so helpful & friendly not like any of the mainstream arcades would highly recommend. Great prizes too and you don’t have to win 2000 tickets either :)

Fantastic old-school arcade with the most attentive and helpful staff member I’ve ever met. Not only did she help me to find my 4-year-old son three times, but she also let me know that he would stand a better chance of winning a keyring on one type of 2p machine than another. We came away with two whistles, two keyrings and a happy 4-year-old.

Do not go into this arcade and avoid it at all costs, the staff are stuck up, arrogant, miserable, sour faces and very rude, they are not child friendly and always stare at the children using the rides, my mum mobility scooter run out of battery and could not move, asked them if she can charge the battery for a few minutes and they said NO, i told them its only for a few minutes to get us to the car across the road and they would still not help, they were laughing and joking to themselves about my mum cant move in the scooter, the management and staff in this arcade are a bunch of lowlifes and need a reality check, Avoid this arcade !

The owner Martin is not a very nice Man. I was barred from John Remblance Arcades for personal reasons I played in Martins Arcade several times no problems one day I went in there Martin comes over to me all angry and aggressive saying I am not allowed in here anymore I asked why. He said cause I am barred from John's Arcade I am not allowed in here anymore it's has nothing to do with Martin what happened down the road I have always spent money in Happidrome no problems. Martins Arcade is rubbish anyway it has no ticket redemption games just Rubbish old 2p pushers that are on there last legs. Don't get me started on there Amazing prizes (hahahaha). They are so rubbish and cheap you find better outside a charity shop. I am really grateful Martin barred me it means I can spend my money in Better Arcades. Good luck with your Amazing business (hahahaha). It can't survive much longer.

I was outside this arcade with my child and mrs and because I said I wanted to go to a better arcade one of the security that work there (a fat little lady) said to me about my autistic child “I don’t want that in here anyway)

One of the nicer arcades in Southend, with some of the classics, and unique offers like a retro gaming area including pinball machines which are hard to find and I haven't found any in the others along the strip. Ice cream shop attached is lovely, with some great ice cream, flavours and even some ice cream suitable for dogs! Well worth a visit for a family friendly place to have fun.
