Re: Yeah, that's not true.....
10/23/14 02:50 AM


arbee hit the nail the head. Born and raised baby. Born and motherfucking raised. I am 41 years old and stepped into my first arcade when I was 12yrs old. First one I remember going to was probably the University Village across from USC college. Then it was Chuck E. Cheese. Since then I have been to so many arcades it's disgusting.

Arcades...to me, are the bread and butter of my videogame experience. Los Angeles used to be flooded with them. They are the reason that I love emulation to DEATH, and why I have such a big.....and I mean HUGE fondness and admiration to the devs behind MAME. Arcades are the reason why my passion for old 2D games knows no bounds, and why I am constantly binge-watching folks play 2D retro games on TwitchTV.

Arcades are also responsible for my incredibly odd, strange and disturbing fascination with high-grade, high quality force feedback steering wheels and pedals, and have help shape my affection for the Sega and Namco arcade racers of the 80s and especially 90s. I can't tell you how much my jaw dropped when I first played this puppy walking home from Junior High school in 1986 at the local laundry mat:







It was absolutely sublime.



Arcades are a HUGE part of American videogame history, and all MAMEWORLD forum members should never forget that.
