Timezone

Pretty poor considering that there are much better arcades within walking distance (both Galaxy Worlds spring to mind). While small, it still has all the games you’d expect from this kind of place, and the same clientele (a mixture of sterotypical nerds, uni students and teenage boys). Can’t really fault it, but the Galaxy World across the street is a hell of a lot better and if you can walk to Market City, the Galaxy World there is amazing.
As it’s in the cinema complex on George Street and opposite the Metro Theatre, it’s a good place to visit to kill some time before a movie or concert.

If you’ve never been, you might think Timezone is exclusively for silly boys in their early to mid-​teens, but you’d be wrong! Somewhat.
Of course you do get hordes of ill-​behaved boys at Timezone, but it can also be a great, relatively inexpensive way to kill time, as I found the other day when I was waiting for a chronically-​late friend.
My personal favourite; the maxi claw. That thing is surprisingly hard to manipulate! But if you put your back into it, you can snag yourself a fluffy toy!
Oh, and the staff seem some mixture of surprised/​excited/​suspicious to see a woman in her early twenties there (makes a nice break from rambunctious 14 year olds, I suppose), and showered me with attention. Which is always nice.
