That's weird. I started playing arcade games regularly in '84, and I only ever saw current games on location, even in the small places like laundromats or general stores. In '84 I knew of games like Missile Command, Asteroids, Defender, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, etc. because my older brother and his friends talked about them (plus I'd played the console ports), but I never saw any on location by '84. I was playing Karate Champ and Punch-Out!! mainly, which both came out in '84.

In '85 in my neck of the woods, Gauntlet was the big game; in '86, Rampage; in '87, Double Dragon, in '88, Bad Dudes, in '89, Final Fight...

Then in '91 Street Fighter II came along and blew the roof off the joint. Around here it didn't replace any classics (which were long gone), just dime-a-dozen late '80s JAMMA games.

In the early 90's I saw a Dig Dug at a laundromat and it seemed like a relic from the distant past.

I hate fighting games (the tekken stuff etc). So it really got me by surprise that I liked Soul Calibur SO much when I finally got a Dreamcast.....(only a year or 2 ago).
