I remember in 3rd.. grade everyone would go to the local convenience store to play street fighter II.  I don't remember girls being at arcades, other than chuckee cheese.  I also remember the huge arcade in the mall where I would get to play teenage mutant ninja turtles II.  After street fighter II king of the fighters, puzzle bobble, and other games came around.  I remember World Heroes.. but mostly console.

I actually remember playing arcade games more often when my family would go visit Mexico.  I experienced Snow Bros. Jr., Street fighter 1, Outrun, many snk fighters, and capcom fighters here.  All the kids played arcades over there.

I also remember The local donut shop was another good place in LA and the local pizza place had a Bubble Bobble machine which I loved but my parents never let me play for too long.  They still have a Ms. pacman speed hack machine at the donut shop to this day (not sure if it's the same one).

Most games since then I've seen at amuzement parks. I was more of a console kid (and have owned one or more from every generation).
