| The_Liquid_Laser said: I DID spend a lot of quarters (and tokens) at the arcade depending on what the machines took. It was so much that it was hard to measure. I can tell you that for the mid to late 80's my favorite platform was definitely the arcade.  I even preferred it a lot over the various computers my friends had. This was before I could drive though, so the Atari 2600 was nice when I couldn't make it to the arcade. It felt weird in the late 80's that I would often ignore the arcade if a huge game released on the NES like a Mario or Zelda. In between major releases I would go to the arcade when I could. Sega had some great arcade games then, and yet the NES was such a fantastic console that I ended up going less and less compared to the early and mid 80's. |
Damn, must have been fun.
Sadly my only experience with Arcades is in the 1990s and early 2000s - but only as a observer , didnt get to play anything lol.
A reason why I'm grateful that a lot of arcade games and collections of arcade games are coming out on modern platforms and PC.
