Started in the 70's in the Arcades
I feel sorry for the kids of today in that they will never hear the bass sounds of 60 old Arcade machines all being played at the same time. The smell of electricity crackling around the old wooden cabinets was unforgettable.
People crowding around the local champ, as he defends his hi score against a rival.
The excitement of pressing a new note into the change machine. The frustration when it keeps rejecting and the joy when it eventually realises your not going to give up and the coins rain down into the hopper.
It sadly is all gone, many things are better for it. However in many ways it will never be equalled.
