I <3 Arcades, pls keep them alive

I know two local arcades that do some pretty awesome promotions. One of them you can play alllll day for 15 bucks. And they have some obscure machines there too like Smash TV.

Some arcades have rude staff. The Seattle Pinball Museum in the USA is an example of one of the places which I deeply dislike. I believe that some of the arcades which have closed may have had zero respect for customers. People may have been traumatised from a negative experience therefore avoid all arcades unfortunately. It only takes a few unhappy memories for people to avoid places or situations for fear of emotional triggers.

Arcades were the foundation of my gaming experiences. As far back as the early 90's, (and earlier) it was quite commonplace to find coin-op arcade machines in convenience stores, movie theater lobbies, diners, laundromats, bowling alleys and shopping malls. And not just arcade video games, but pinball machines and crane games, too.

at the little won our beach home is at? they still have arcades,, some typical video stuff and one with many retro vintage games.
its not all just kids play tho

Are the local ones here

Me too! Arcades are so much fun!
Your local one shut down recently? 😞

The last time I saw an aracde anywhere was at least 10 years ago, I loved them as a kid.

I haven't gone to one since I was a little kid. Maybe I should try again.

If there are games I'm in. Only problem is they eat my money. Lol

Where are you from i thought we had one called t and t or something.

All the ones in my area are shut down and I’m majorly bummed about it 😔

I use to love going to the arcade in garden city, sc. . The smell of the place didnt change any from my childhood . I dont think the prizes you could win off skeeball tickets changed either. But that didnt stop us.

they are <3 I love going to my local arcade <3

i love these places,, went thru puberty there LOL!
we still have them, here and there, and I still like to go

I spent many quarters in them back in the day. Never got good at any games though

They barely exist around here where i am from anymore

I spent a lot of quarters there back in the day

i play there, maybe not the way they are designed

I loved the arcade

I love them too but theyre too expensive.
