Arcade Club - Europe's Largest Free Play Video & Pinball Arcade in Bury & Leeds. More than 300 modern and classic arcades. - good place in Bury (North Manchester) for an evening of retro gaming - £16 to get in then all games are on freeplay mode so can play as much as you want
All the old retro arcade machines plus newer stuff like racing chairs with VR and VR red dead redemption etc.
Great for a night of re-living younger years

You could be even more ambitious and get a two-car set up that allows you to play:
Daytona USA
Sega Rally 1 & 2
Ridge Racer and sequels
Power Drift
Outrun and sequels.
SNES Super Mario Kart
N64 Mario Kart

I've always preferred the more traditional joystick-based games from Green Beret and Double Dragon through to Mortal Kombat, Tekken and even Puzzle Bobble. As such, that's not an issue; as I said, I've got a decent arcade-style 2 player set up. It's the software, not the hardware that I'm interested in at the moment. Looks a bit like a couple of Linux distros are dedicated to it, albeit they're pushing a Raspberry Pi setup.

What are folks using for emulation these days? Is it still MAME? Emulation Station? Or a dedicated OS? I've got a nice dual USB arcade stick that I'll be plugging into a PC, so just wondering what the best software was to facilitate its use? TIA
