Game Over: Death Of The Arcade
Gray_Area:
I don't think arcades will come back - though I think technological developments will allow people more opportunities for retro gaming experience, wherever they wish to have them.
I think the video was complete. And what did those scores mean for those at the end, if anything?
Also, Spirit pinball FTW.

Nothing.

In the... early 90's I think I was looking to get out of my current job and was seriously looking into opening a gaming lounge using PC's to play various online games and such. Was looking at different storefronts and the more desireable ones had a separate area to also setup console playing. Had a business plan, some contracted tech support, etc... Those places were fun while they lasted, but didn't last long either.
I was never good enough at any particular game to be able to afford to stay in any arcade for too long. :(

Are you kidding? I want a Chuck E. Cheese fully loaded with classic video games and pins.
Well...realistically I am halfway there, I am a games technician for the local Chuck E. Cheese :). Luckily we do have a combo cabaret cabinet that has Centipede, Millipede, Missle Command, and a bowling game. I have been trying to push for a Pac-Man/Galaga and a Space Invaders cabinets as well. We definitely need more classics.
We do have some cool (somewhat newer) video's though such as:
Chase HQ2, Arctic Thunder, Global Vr3, Johnny Nero Action Hero.
