The Elusive Arcade
By Gemma Cleanslate
I have been trying for two days to get into the Country Club region to visit
The Arcade.
This is an Event at The Arcade and it is the first birthday. It
is always full! This event will be here until the 30th of September, so
sooner or later you may be able to get there. It is billed on the website
as, “The Arcade is a brand of gacha events within Second Life, featuring some
of the grid’s best content creators.” Read about gacha events here on the
website http://thearcadesl.com/about/the-event/
.
As I hung around in the air at the edge of the sim with others waiting and
hoping we got a message from Archibald Gachum, who shouted, "Enter The Arcade
photography contest, featuring prizes from 12 beloved brands. 1st place gets
early access into our next 4 gacha events (December 2013 - September 2014)! http://thearcadesl.com/contest/how-to-enter
“ in the chat.
As I cammed in on the inside of the Arcade, I could see that the
games are definitely arcade games from the past. Each game has a prize
connected with it that is displayed on a small billboard next to the machines. I
don’t know how much it costs to play yet, since I am still hovering on the next
sim edge but it looks extremely popular and I wanted to let you all know about
it so you will have time to try to enter. The build itself is worth a visit and
perhaps if you are a photographer enter the contest.
As I looked around at the
three sims next to Country club I found 34 avatars hovering in the air or on the
landing ship in Casablanca Bay, or Club Road and Park Drive. If you are a member
of the group I read that you are granted early admission to an event. As I
left there were still 31 people inside The Arcade. Good Luck!! I will try again
tomorrow! This is the first time I have written about a place to which I have
never been!
Thanks to Daniel Voyager for getting the slurl!

Editor's Note: The games I noticed in a visit in June cost 25-100 Lindens each round to play. It's possible others could be higher.
