Arcade

Upon a trip to the Hollywood bowls at Cardiff bay we were asked to look at the different machines and games that we could play to see what different features they had compared to techniquest. First thing I noticed was that it had a large screen unlike Techniquest its machines were built with the intention in getting you to spend money unlike Techniquest. Because of its large screen it attracts people to play it, its made from colourful plastic and has dazzling lights that is hard not to notice even in a crowded room full of other machines. Its called Manic panic ghost its objective seems to be to hit gousts on a screen with a motion sensor device. However the tools needed for this are confusing as they look like phones instead of weapons that leave the user befuddled. There are cultural restraints as there is a pink weapon for a girl and a blue weapon for a boy. But when playing as two player the screen splits so its easier for both to play the game and there is plenty of information to be given. However where money is put into the machine is awkward as its placed so far down that you almost don’t see it. Overall I like how the machine is laid out and seems to be quite pleasant compared to the others in the arcade.
