Im probably in the very very small minority of people who still love and go to arcades. Its such a great place to meet like minded nerds. We are lucky to have 2 really awesome ones in town, one of which has a lot of good old machines, and they repair them too. They have some new ones that are OK too.

Anyway, I dont like that they changed to the dumb card thing. I get it (efficiency, capitalism, it was bound to happen) but it removes another visceral experience in society that was so fun.

Anyway, my old man rant!

It went for any game, pinball and sometimes pool tables.. Single player and you have next. If it was street fighter and someone else wanted to play, they would just interrupt your game and fight you. Beat em ups and strangers just join in if theres a free spot
