Still Jobbing To Arm Champs II Arcade Game in Great Yarmouth
At the time of writing this blog post I have uploaded a total of 387 videos to YouTube. Of these the most viewed video is one of me "Jobbing to Arm Champs II Arcade Machine" which has had 14,071 views since I uploaded it on the 16th of February 2007.
On Sunday 7th of August 2011 we were once again in Great Yarmouth and I had another go on the Arm Champs II machine to see if I could beat 'Chang'. This time I did (legitimately too I might add), only to go and be jobbed out in the Bonus Stage!?

Arm Champs II, Turks and Jobbing - a revisit to Great Yarmouth's Best Arcade Machine
On Sunday 5th June 2011 we headed to Great Yarmouth for some minigolf and amusement arcade action, and I couldn't resist a revisit to the arcade that is home to the Arm Champs II Arm Wrestling Game. Bizarrely, a video of me losing (Jobbing) on it in February 2007 is my most viewed YouTube video!? At the time of writing this blog post it has 13,017 views!!!

A Selection of Seaside Shooting Shacks...
It wouldn't be a trip to a seaside resort without playing a Hill Billy Shooting Shack!
Cleethorpes.
Skegness.
Ingoldmells.
Hunstanton.
While it wasn't a Shooting Shack, this target game in the Vegas Amusement Arcade in Hunstanton was certainly different!
We also spotted a new type of Arm Wrestling Game in one amusement arcade in Cleethorpes.
Other Seaside Shooting Shacks visited and played on our travels.

Popeye Arm Wrestling in Camber Sands
While in Camber Sands scouting out old Crazy Golf courses we popped into the amusement arcade there and spotted an interesting looking Popeye Arm Wrestling game!
One question I have though is - what's a 'Muscel Man'!?
I'm a big fan of 'The Buttons' and love seaside amusements. On our travels we've found some other Arm Wrestling Arcade machines - here, here, and here.

Jobbing to Arm Champs - the original Arm Wrestling Arcade Game
While in Towyn I spotted an original Arm Champs arm wrestling arcade game and couldn't resist having a go, despite my previous failures in Great Yarmouth in 2007 and May 2009.
You can see how I got on this time in the video below.

Arm Champs II – the rematch
Back in February 2007 I fought and lost (in controversial circumstances) against the Arcade machine Arm Champs II in Great Yarmouth. In May 2009 I returned for a rematch and this time lost in match one!
