Arcades


Mar 2018
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. emoticon

Final Fight was great. That was the game I played more than anything before Street Fighter II came along. I remember playing The Simpsons, Turtles II and IV, X-Men, Double Dragon, and Streets of Rage, although, not sure that one was in the arcades. That was a Sega Genesis game. I also remember a Superman game like that being pretty fun. I know I'm forgetting quite a few.

I get why video stores died but it is kind of surprising everyone so easily let go of arcades. I would have thought people's love for the environment and desire to compete against strangers would have stuck around a little longer. I guess you can still do that online but you know what I mean.
