An arcade that specialises in retro games will be opening in Milton Keynes this summer.
The Pixel Bunker, which will officially open its doors on June 4, will have numerous classics on offer for game enthusiasts to play which range from the 70s to the 00s.
There will also be a bar and food area at the arcade, however, this is not expected to open until August.

The arcade will also be the home of the National Film & Sci-fi museum, where film buffs across the country can admire displays that focus on some of the world’s largest movie franchises such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Harry Potter, Marvel, Ghostbusters and more.
An excerpt from their lengthy Facebook statement read: “We currently have a collection of over 200 dedicated arcade cabinets and an additional 150 game boards meaning we have over 350 games to choose from.
“And we are adding new machines every week!

“Every month the arcade floor will change as we alternate different games from our collection, meaning each time you visit you will get a different playing experience."
Those at the Pixel Bunker also want gamers to get in touch and vote for the games they would like to play, as the company has close to 100 cabinets which are ‘all free to play once you are inside the venue.’
