Just because I'm a 2000s kid, doesn't mean I don't enjoy arcade games. Man...Those must have been great times to live in with all those arcade machines.
Yes, it was so cool. Going and playing Centipede, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Joust ,OutRun, Zaxxon and so many more. I spent so much money on Joust and Zaxxon.
It was so surreal and new way to do something. It is worse now because kids just do it alone and not with friends watching and talking about it in person. If you had a couple of bucks you would stop and get a soda with your buds.
My heart breaks for this generation.. that post hit my nostalgia button hard. I used to run an arcade before we got shut down.. kept the gate open as long as I could. I remember people didn't want to leave at closing time lol. Drinking whiskey and passing out cheap prizes. I hope those days come round again, times like those are few and far between
