What killed the Arcade for you?
Malenko:
I cant wait to build my spinnerMAME cab so I can play some arkanoid.
On my cabs, my most played by others are Killer Instinct and Ms.PacMan. Buddy from work came over today and now he wants to make a MAME cab so he can play the Killer Instincts and Mortal Kombats
Im having a house warming on Saturday, I'll reset the play counters and let you know what they play (if they play anything, its mostly my GFs friends, lol)
its just so funny that I agree with DoDonBaka so much but hes so hostile, its hilarious

I like Moon Patrol and Frogger and would also consider them classics right up there with Pac-Man and Galaga. But I also was old enough to go to the arcades on my own without parents when those games were new. So I guess that's what this debate boils down to...age. older people find Galaga, Pac-Man, Centipede, Moon Patrol, etc. classic, and younger people think Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter 2 and Killer Instinct are classics. I love pretty much ALL games. I am a game addict so I think they are all classics. I never stopped going to the arcades...I still go when I find one. And yes I will even play the $1 gimmicky games at Dave & Busters when I go which isn't often.

Its also made of thousands of people who buy and restore classic games, yet you just completely disregard their opinions because they aren't aligned with yours.

Love Arkanoid. Putting mine together was the first time I encountered the inside of an arcade machine. It was fun to get working and it's even more fun to play. :D

This actually was the case for a couple of arcades in my area. One of them was so bad with drug dealers a squad car was almost always parked in the driveway. Come to think of it, maybe the cop was there buying drugs too. LOL

No lie. Someone here from the UK posted in another thread how the kids who started to hang out at the arcades made it dangerous. I wonder how many others have the same story?
