Modern Arcades

Closed
undox

With the amount of time I am spending playing core video games, I realized that there is one experience that I still have not done. I have not gone to any arcades yet. There used to be lots of arcades when I was a kid, but they all seem to have disappeared. Does anybody know of any arcades near their home? I know that Chuck E. Cheese is part arcade, but even my kids are not interested in them.

Good arcades are dead for the most part...might be some in big cities maybe. Now it's just lame ticket-winning games.

There's some old-school arcades in an annual festival in my town. So I got to play Street Fighter II in one, also in a gaming event, a original Space Invaders machine. Loved the thing.

And my college used to had a Time Crisis 2 machine which I played a couple of times.

Yeah, conventions like PAX and Anime Boston are really the only places you can find dedicated arcades. Movie theaters often have small ones, and some big malls might, too. Actual arcades are very few and far between nowadays.

Internet cafes are quite popular these days (in China).
