Yeah, arcades are pretty much useless now, there used to be a huge difference between the games you could buy and play at home, and arcade games...but since they are pretty much neck and neck now, its pointless.
Plus, they wanna sit there and charge you a dollar or more per play, that lasts about 56 seconds...that shit is wack.
You know what is hella fun tho...those touch screen video games that they have at bars...the ones where you can pop in dollars...they're silly little Yahoo type games...but they're fun as hell.
