Arcades

Nostalagia post.

Was reading a post on the forum I frequent. They were talking about arcades.

What happened to them? Now only big shopping malls have them, and usually they don't have much games except bigger machines like DDR, on-rails-shooting, racing. Shoot em ups, beat em ups and fighting games has become much less.

Back in the day, I used to frequent the arcades. Boy was it fun. Except the second hand smoking of course.

Listing out which games at the arcades are my favourite would be like trying to list out what are my favourite food. Off the top of my head, favs would be the Street Fighter games, Metal Slug and KOF series. Yeah, I'm quite the fighting game nut.

Ever since arcades almost went extinct (blame consoles), I haven't really been to one and play in it (Except that one time, of course). Mostly just have a look as to what games they have, while waiting for the schedule movie to start.


This. Definitely this, I want to try before I die. The Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield game.
