do you miss arcades?

Post Reply New Topic

I miss playing arcades with my older brother, lived in a coastal town so there were plenty of them. I'd spent inordinate amounts of money getting the darn plastic prizes out of those 2p machines.

I only went to an arcade once. It was too expensive.

Yesterday I saw a new game at the arcade that was like a 3-D Lego-looking version of that joke about why the chicken crossed the road. Except you can also play a duck in a 2-player game, and there's more than just a road. In fact, it was like Frogger, but with a chicken and a duck, so maybe it should be called "Clucker and Quacker" maybe?

I only mostly only see a lot of kids and their parents in the arcade during weekends and holidays, so I'm not sure how they're staying open so long. Most games you can now play on a console or your computer in the comfort of your own home, and the games are much more advanced, so arcades just aren't that popular anymore.
