Who here remember playing a arcade, doing well might I add, then having a younger kid pop in his/her credits messing up the entire game without asking if they could join?

Not like it was owned to the person who popped in quarters first in player 1, but kinda rude just to interrupt.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20507154 Mon, 19 May 2008 15:51:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20506541 armyman12b : :) WELL I MAY NOT BE OLD ENOUGH TO TRULY MISS THE DAYS OF OLD (BEING A YOUNG PUP OF 28) BUT IT SURE DOES FEEL NICE TO GO BACK TO AN AGE OF WONDER ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20506541 Mon, 19 May 2008 14:00:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20503805 JALman : I respectfully disagree on the current state of games, Dude. However I do sometimes miss the wonder of finding the newest games in the arcades.

Has anyone here watched the old game show Starcade?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20503805 Sun, 18 May 2008 22:01:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20423583 Dude111 : Im sick of the world today,all the garbage in it.......

I played almost every game they showed in that animation. If I saved all those quarters I spent on video games back then, I could probably put a down payment on a house ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20406699 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:43:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20406153 habya : Even though I was too young to really enjoy many of the arcades of the 80's, I wish they would come back. I've been to a couple that were like that and really enjoyed them.

Now when I go into an arcade all I ever see is generally crap games that go for $1 per play. They recently redid the arcade at our mall and added a few good games like Soulcalibur, Marvel vs Capcom, and Gauntlet.

Other than that, it is DDR, Deal or No Deal, Time Crisis (which they cut your health down to 3 bars ), or some random crap game. Really nothing that worth while. Not to mention 90% of the games cost $1 to play and $1 to continue, making it really not worth it. Heck, this 'african safari', or whatever it is called, costs $4 to play and it lasts about 5 mins.

This brought me to tears watching,what happend to the good days we used to know??

It's an all digital animation of walking through a typical mall video game arcade in 1984 with Journeys "Stoned in Love" playing in the background.

Check it out! (3-1/2 minutes long .. very well done )

Almost nothing but crap is made today making the 80s look like gold!! (Which they were in many ways)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20404135 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:58:57 EDT
