Hello! How\u2019s lockdown #2 been for you? I hope you and your loved ones are continuing to stay well and keep yourselves occupied as we wait through these last couple of weeks. Over the years, we have had various themes to Friday nights and currently it seems to be takeaways and a Mario Kart tournament – the favourite of all! We have a local part-time restaurant, which ordinarily only opens on the weekend, who have diversified rather cleverly and started doing their own theme nights on a Friday too. They create a short menu that you order from and either pick it up at an allotted time or have it delivered – last week it was Mexican!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It seems so many years ago that the Wii first came into our lives and since then, I\u2019ve had hours of fun playing Mario Kart with the children and then wistfully regaling the joys of Pac Man, which are received with a blank look of dismay… a blob eating dots while being chased by monster heads? That sounds lame Mum! Well, the time has come for me to get my revenge on the XBox, Wii, Switch and all other manner of modern day games\u2026Which, don\u2019t get me wrong, I love too, but there\u2019s just something about Pac Man that you can\u2019t beat and it\u2019s here in the Arcade 4:1 Games Machine!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
