this board is 90% zoomers at this point, OP.
fagglets grew up with COD and Fortnite.

Yes, I do. Very much
Some of my fondest childhood memories are going to the arcades and play OutRun, SFII, AfterBuner, Bust-A-Move, House Of The Dead. I had to wait till I got enough cash from my parents, grandma to spare and for my parents to take me there, so it was always an event and something special to me.

I've been to a couple in the past two years. As long as there is a robotic nose to determine when people haven't bathed in more than a day at the entrance, the return of arcades would be all right.
WHAT IS THAT FEMALE DOING THERE

Cod first released in 2004. That's not a good indicator

damn that's amazing. The skill and showmanship on that dude is off the charts

I do but at the same point i never liked going out.

you are not very bright, are you?

I'm 29, so I'm not old enough to miss arcades. I just played on consoles and my PC instead.

the fuck? im 29 and arcades were all the rage when I was a kid, I didnt get a nes till I was like 15

>got an NES in 2006
LOL

My condolences

arcades were so much better than PC games at that time, except maybe doom

It depends on where you grew up too, arcade culture was strong in certain parts and nonexistant in others.

>kids smashing up the controllers
>kids getting their greasy hands over the cabinet
>some nog breaking the fucking machine cause he lost
No. I dont.

Yes

I miss Time Crisis the most, mostly because it felt more skilful due to the cover mechanics. Yes there was still a lot of memorisation, but it still felt like you could do well purely based on good reflexes.

fuck no, the thick smell of cigarettes and obvious coin muncher tactics in games made me pray that every game was release on consoles instead, god bless the dreamcast and ps2

I mean sure, the nostalgia and all but i never was a huge fan of arcades after puberty; as soon as i got my snes only a few games where actually attractive, basically just some snk/capcom beat em ups and the occasional sega title with the 3d and fancy cabinets.

>Work inna arcade
>State shut down my job because it has a bar in it(lol Round 1)
>Still shut down because state re-opened bars but prohibited amusement machines
>Just want to fix and play my games after work again
god i hate everything right now.

Nah, that's not how it goes.

DDR is for hungry skeletons and spazzes
PIU is for Koreans and Black K-poop hags
ITG is for super hyper turbo autists that put a water bottle through the drywall if they get a great instead of a perfect
Dancerush Stardom is for charismatic black people and furries
Drummania is for music game Gregor
Pop'n Music is for Pedophiles
IIDX Is for fatties and japanese autists
SDVX is exclusively for trannies
Groovecoaster is for zoomers who are bad at rhythm games
Project Diva is a waifufag cope
Guitarfreaks is for no one lmao
Guitar Hero is for no-skill normalfags
Wacca is for everyone surprisingly
Taiko is for fags

Replace DR with DDR and you have an accurate image

I used to do that on Area 51.

I just wanna play Soulcalibur II in an arcade again. That's all I want with life.

My city opened up tennis courts and golf courses before they allowed skate parks to reopen. This pandemic just ripped the veil off the local govt swamps everywhere.

Nigga what I'm 27 and went to arcades as a kid. Not even your movie theater had a little one?

I'd like to own the cockpit Afterburner cabinet at one point in my life. That is one of my main reasons to strive for success. After that it'd be neat to have Silent Scope II and/or Police 911. I'd like to only own cabinets that are better played physically than emulated.

damn what a chad,wish i had friends like this

>Swamps
Man this pandemic should open alot of people's eyes to ALOT of shit, and it's going to be forgotten by this time next year because netflix will release some bullshit or some celebrity will say the naughty scrungus words and be kicked off big stupid movie 3: The Fuckening.

I miss going to Round 1 since they closed due to covid
I just wanna play some WACCA bros

>you will never visit tokyo in the late 90s and walk into a grungy gamecenter after dodging some prostitutes and yakuza, take in the massive waft of cigarette smoke, and see a massive row of third strike machines being played by some of the most skilled videogame players to ever live.

i wish i can get a tech position at round1

I'm bored and i miss my job, so i'm going to tell stories from the arcade

>Get off work at 8
>Play some DDR
>Doors to mall close at 9
>Drunk black guy comes up behind DDR machine and starts shouting about his kids at 9:45
>Tell him the doors are shut at 9
>He starts shouting at me(Out of uniform) About "MUH KEEDZ"
>Tell him to walk to the other side of the mall and pick them up
>Hops up on the pad with me and tries to argue
>Step on his feet and fail my song
>End up having to call security over

>About to clock out, eyeing the WMMT machines to snipe some normalshits
>See this one old black guy playing it
>Well dressed, looks like a history teacher
>Sit down and slap his shit
>He starts talking about the C1
>Turns out to be a huge wangan midnight/initial D nerd
>Recommend him some PS2 games from the golden age

>MFW If we catch you stealing from the claw machines we wag our fingers at you and say Naughty Naughty! but if you bring in a mini bottle of vodka we call the national guard
You know those machines are still in the same spot right? Like for club sega in akihabara, it's either 3rd for 4th floor.
If you're able to type that post, you're overqualified.

How do you steal from the claw machines? Coat hanger?
>but if you bring in a mini bottle of vodka we call the national guard
kek, gotta sell those over priced drinks

Because boomers who golf and suburban moms who play tennis aren't selling drugs in the parking lot. Skate parks attract scumbags

You must be 15 years old or something if you think this has anything to do with political swamps lmao. If anything, your local government is based for keeping kids away from all the drug dealers and human garbage who infest skate parks

DDR always attracted lots of girls at the arcades I went to. You had to be good obviously, but I'd watch really good dancers perform on them and I'm talking like they'd easily gather a crowd and most of them were girls usually. And they always looked like they got wet over the guy dancing, even if he wasn't that attractive.

I miss meeting other shotas at the arcade then BJs around the back

They're UFO catchers, so you can just reach up and yank a prize sometimes. The UFO catchers at R1 as far as UFOs go is usually pretty fair in comparison to japan. Theyt're overpriced by a large margin, but they're so easy more often than not that you end up spending less for a prize in USA R1 than you would bumfuck JPN arcade. That said, it's all up to the amusement manager/supervisor as to how hard they are, and if they're retards they can make a bad set-up and they'll just fucking leave it.

Spent 4000 yen trying for this bullshit mouse and mousepad set that was on top of a spikey shoe cleaner in japan.

Unrelated but one time we had a bunch of fursuiting furries have a meetup at R1, and we made them take their masks off because we're also super touchy about masks. I think i'd prefer the masks on desu.
