With arcade machine prices like that no wonder arcades are going out of business.

Thieves!!

Bones:

Perhaps the whole industry will fall in a big heap and then the buzz of the 80's can be reborn in the form of games that plug right into your brain. You blow something up and you smell gunpowder, or experience real adrenalin or pain or something.....

That works out to over 3 plays an hour, every single hour of the day, every single day of the year!  Insanity!

I went to a local bowling alley for my kid's friend's birthday party on the weekend.  I was pleasantly greeted by a 3-in-1 Galaga, Space Invaders and Ms PacMan machine!  Happy days!

As usual there was a Daytona twin in the corner with a million kids hanging off it.  Myself and one of the other dads proceeded to spend the entire afternoon battling for Galaga high-score.  Ahhh... the memories!
