Game Over (Venue)

Game Over is a Gaming Cafe located in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. It is housed in the basement of a building, and is basically an arcade, but houses game consoles and handhelds instead of game machines.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is a paradise for retro gamers. The owner, Steve Lowe, is a game console collector himself and you can tell him by looking inside for the first time.
 * 2) Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
 * 3) Game Over offers gaming nights for adults every 4th Thursday in a month, so it's fun if you want to meet other retro gamers or basically any gamers you can think of. You might even experience quizzes and game tournaments too on not just retro systems, but modern systems as well.
 * 4) The pricing for everything (including food, drinks and merchandise) is quite reasonable.
 * 5) The Portsmouth City Museum nearby has an exhibition presented by the venue, which also features various consoles and information on display.
 * 6) The murals of various classic characters makes the venue really attractive to look at.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) On weekends and non-school days, the venue will get crowded easily due to it's small size.
 * 2) Kids who do visit the place mainly play games like Roblox or Minecraft on the computers instead of the consoles.
