Thinking of opening an arcade...
zelony:
I own a Gaming Center and Internet Cafe with 33 PC's and 10 XBOX 360's. In the last 6 years I have about $700,000 in sales and have never turned a profit. I suggest that you save your money and avoid this industry like the plague.

Have you considered writing your experiences?

It is really sad that the day of the Arcade game centre is dead. You do find the odd one around the place in Australia but there is far less of them than there were 10 years ago.
Its even getting hard to find a "Daytona USA" machine to play as I don't think they turn a profit anymore.

Well, when I die and go to heaven, I will be in the arcade section.

Katuuuz, its horrible to even read this thread. But everyone here is dead on. I've also been following the series in GameRoom Magazine and
it plots a story that lots of Mom and Pop arcades are following now... for those that are still hanging on. Sorry about your dream...at one
point it was mine too.
