Back when I was very young, when I first saw an arcade, I wasn't tall enough to play them.
Then when I became taller, I saw they were interesting, but I was shy about my parents watching me play some of them, I was also shy about the arcades getting stuck in my head, because they might still be in my head around the time my parents would spank me, and point their fingers at me while teaching me with a tampering attitude.
Then between 14 and now, whenever I see an interesting arcade at a place my family brings me to (like a mall), it makes me want to play it, but my family doesn't want me to, because they told me they are time'n'money-wasters and mind-spoilers. I still have my Learner's Permit, and when I get fully prepared to enter any town or city close by, I will probably go with my friends to play the arcades.
On Filter's Top-Ten Best Old-School Arcades poll, the face-off was Pac-Man and Street Fighter II: World Warrior. Pac-Man won. TMNT and X-Men arcades weren't on the list, but the Simpsons were.
I believe Donkey Kong is more interesting than Pac-Man, because of the blazing colors.
Konami's and other companies' beat'em-ups were giants, until SEGA's arcades came in.

I miss those days. Settling for MAME isn't too bad at all.
