Arcades are places you used to go when you didn't own a Sega Genesis or a SNES. Or you were sick of playing shitty arcade ports on your Atari 2600. All of them are currently dead, since the invention of arcade quality graphics on consoles. The only arcades left open are ones with DDR, Guitar Freaks, driving games, and dumbass horsey rides. Of course, you can probably play Marvel vs. Capcom, but really, go fuck yourself if you contemplated that.

Of course, you can always go play some games at the world famous Pac-Man Arcade in Pasadena, California...wait a minute, there's Counter-Strike in the Pac-Man arcade? Oh fuck you internet, FUCK YOU! They're urinating on Nolan Bushnell's grave, and he is not even dead!

Arcade machines are those big pieces of shit that were probably the first portable game systems evar... if you had a generator. Games were usually twenty five cents, Dragon's Lair was the first FMV game and the first game to charge fifty cents. Most arcade machines today have blank screens, sticky buttons, sticky joysticks, broken buttons, etc. They're just a mess. Usually, the only functioning arcade machine is Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

All arcade games after the mid 90's sucked, other than Metal Slug, which of course, everyone loves.

Of course it really doesn't matter now with the creation of MAME.
