Research Survey on Arcades
« on: September 23, 2009, 11:05:31 am »
Hey everybody, I am currently doing research for the University of Southern Mississippi on Arcade Culture from 1979 to 1986.  If anyone is willing to answer some survey questions, it would really help http://bit.ly/2jc6ZR.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Think I was too young to be in any arcades for your date range.

 :P

Sadly, same here.

Thanks guys.  This is for my senior undergraduate thesis.  I will be more than happy to post the thesis when it is complete.  The rought draft is due in approximately 3 months and I will provide a link to it when I am finished.  I have roughly 10 people already.  If I could get 15 or so, it would really help me out.  I have gotten some great responses.  Thanks again guys.

Some of those questions were kinda wonky.  Course, there weren't that many straight arcades round here.

I have taken the survey!

Question: "What kind of people were patrons of arcades?"  or something close to that.

Answer "Social misfits, the Dungeon's & Dragon's losers, non-jocks that didnt want to be the water boys for the jocks and tomboys (the girls that didnt know they were lesbians yet!). The kids that were still too poor to own an Atari, ColecoVision or Nintendo!

Yeah, round here there was all kinds, but mostly people/kids with money, and maybe some stoners (who might've had money, too....). This changed somewhat into the late 80s, the places did end up becoming more of drug havens, but it was still pretty clandestine, and sketchy, bust-wise. They'd started hiring off-duty cops. The bowling alley on the other hand was a much better place to score.
