I've seen a lot of talk on the Horror board and here over the years about how much it sucks that the video stores died out, but the same thing kinda happened to Arcades too, right? I was just thinking about how much time I used to spend in those places. More time than I spent browsing for movies, which is saying a lot.

Anyone used to live in one of those places like I did? What games stick out in your mind? I think it was around 1991, I discovered Street Fighter II at my favorite Arcade, Putt Putt Golf. After that, I started going a lot more. I obviously wasn't alone in my love for Street Fighter II seeing how there was usually a line in front of it. Plus, I remember several ripoff games quickly showing up, like World Heros, Art Of Fighting and of course Mortal Kombat, which broke the Street Fighter II spell pretty quick. I played a lot of different games back then, but the tournament style fighting games is what really made my grades suffer.
