hi Liam, yeah, I know. it is shocking to realize that arcade machines is almost a thing of the past. I do see them around from time to time, but not like they were in the 80's. Back in the 1980's in Wooster Ohio, where I grew up, we had two video arcades packed wall to wall with arcade machines. I played most of the classics there first. Double Dragon, Asteroids, Zaxxon, Packman, Megaman, you name it. If it was in those arcades I played them and talked my parents into buying many of those games for my home consoles. Fact was in the 80's you didn't even have to go to an arcade to find arcade machines. You might go to Pizza Hut and find a sit down version of Packman or go out to pick up a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, and a bag of dog food from the local grocery store and find Donkey Kong awaiting you as you went in or out of the store. You might drop into K-Mart or Hills to go Christmas shopping and find the front of the store had a row of stand up arcade machines just waiting to take you to new and exciting worlds. Point being, the things were everywhere. Now, they are an endangered species.
