Yeah arcades are WACK. The games on these modern consoles are just as good or better then the arcade games. Back when I waz growing up it waz a huge difference in both. SNES, Sega, Neo Geo etc were fun 2 play but if u wanted 2 up the ante u had 2 go 2 the Arcade. I remember when They use 2 have a bomb azz underground arcade in the mall out in Stockton when I waz growing up but in January of 1994 NSG, WS & the Mobb had a shoot out up in there & they closed it down & never opened it back up. I loved that arcade & them gang bangin niggaz fucked it up 4 everyone.
Occasionally I go to this amusement park where on Tuesdays you pay $10 and get to play unlimited arcade games. That's the only way I'll play. They're just way too expensive, usually being $1 or more to play. Fuck that. I remember when games used to be a quarter. I sound like an old person saying that.
The arcade game I sunk the most money into was Mortal Kombat 2 back in 7th grade. My friend lived near a shopping center, so we would ride our bikes to this donut shop that had MK2 for a quarter whereas every other place had is for 50 cents to play and continue. But this 25 cent MK2 did not have fatalities, so we would practice fighting on that and then walk over to Lamppost Pizza and play it with the fatalities and kick ass.
Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, World Heroes, Final Fight, damn those games were the shit, I remember lining up my quarters on the screen and everything...
Yeah I remember when they were a quarter too. Double Dragon waz my shit. I didn't play Mortal Kombat but loved watching others play. Super High Impact Football & The Punisher waz off the hook too.

Ever since they started costin a dollar, I stick wit the old shit.
Galaga is the shit!!!
Attax with the red N blue shit where you have to take over the empty spaces. mind games man.
Oh ya I cant play the xbox N other systems, for some reason I get really dizzy watchin 5min of that on tv.
Only game I really fuck with...and its not even an actual arcade game per se...
Air Hockey
Any challengers out there, I'll meet you at Malibu Grand Prix and thrash the shit outta you. Thats on citas...I have my own Air Hockey stick...plus I guard my goal with my other hand...I'm invincible.
at da arcade you can play dem gun games and deres dis crazy game at dis take away pizza place old skool arcade game dat shit owns.. imma complete dat shit soon
I can't believe no one mentioned the OG arcade shooter of all time! Operation Wolf! Elevator action was a cool arcade game too. Street Fighter 2 was the shit also back in the days until tekken came along and changed the game
every place i go that has video games those mutherfuckers are all like 10 years old. We have way better shit at home nowadays, I'll still fuck with some pin ball or old school games like galaga if the buttons still work
Yeah, its a Deluxe PF-290 Aero Dual Grip Polyurithane Striker. It does not have felt attached to the bottom as it is made for the higher-end air hockey tables that have scratch resistant playfields. The absence of the felt allows the mallet to float much like the puck allowing for smooth and quick movements. Its a beast.
If you ever go to a place like the ESPN Zone the games are the shit. They have motion sensor games and I know that they have a good shooting game at the movie theater in Vallejo where you have to move to hide behind stuff. Shit is hella expensive though. Does anyone know if they still have the nickle arcade somewhere. I remeber going their a long time ago but I forgot where it is.
if you in the bay, theres a place next to pier 39 where they got all them old games from the cliff house arcade (1-5 cent games)...
specially that one old ass game where you arm wrestle the machine (anyone know what im talkin bout?)
