      		 Arcades in the USA are all but gone now, thanks mostly to the fact that the country was found by puritans, what I would call religious zealots. Video games were another "evil" that was blamed for kids' disobedience, like rock and roll and comics before them.

          		 It would be so awesome to own an arcade unit but the closest I have is emulators. The only arcades left now are the ones at Boomers! and Gameworks.

            		 These days you rarely find an arcade. You may find a place that has arcade machines, i.e. movie theaters and pizza resteraunts, but it's not often you see an actual arcade.

                  		 If you are fortunate to find an arcade, it is hardly resembling of arcades from decades ago. Long gone are the actual "video" games since they have been replaced with more hi-tech attractions. A great example is Chuckie CHeese. When I was a child, the majority of machines were video games such as Marble Madness, Paperboy, Rampage, Centipede, The Simpsons, etc.., Naturally we also had the skeet bowling and a few others. Now, it is a complete 180. Recently I went there for a nephews bday party and I couldn't find one legit video game. Times change. If only I could go back to the 80's....................

                    		 I also miss arcades. I remember when I was young and not very good at video games, I used to stand near the machines and watch other people play. The mall in my hometown used to have one, but it attracted the wrong kind of crowd (read: jr. high kids trying to buy & sell drugs).

                    Now the only time I can see an arcade is when my family and I go to Ocean City, New Jersey. Lots of them along the boardwalk. While they do have new stuff like DDR and shooting games, you can still find classic platformers. Back when TMNT was mega-popular, there was an arcade w/ nothing but TMNT games.

                      		 I still go to Chuck E. Cheese and play some arcades. I went to Red Robin and played California Speed, Police Trainer, Metal Slug and 1943.

                        		 I always go into the arcades here in town hoping to find something cool to play, but I never do. It's real dumb 'cause I was always an arcade kid when I was younger so I've never really gotten into playing on consoles so much.

                          I think the fall of arcades were more likely caused by console and computer hardware corporations, along with supporting entertainment developers. I can't imagine the arcades ever making a substantial comeback today, even with the latest and greatest technology available. I remember back around '98 when simulator "pods" and lan gaming centers started popping up around here. They died off quickly...too expensive to operate, and too expensive to play. The days when arcades ruled were primarily for the fact that there was nothing at home that could possibly compare.

                            		 Arcades used to be very popular in the middle of 80s till the middle of 90s in CN.

                            I remember that when i was a primary school boy, I often went to arcade game hall to watch older ppl play, after I learned how to play, i began to buy coins with my pocket money.

                            at that time, there were many rascals in the game hall, generally, they were some older teenages, they didn't go to school and they liked to rob the younger boys and they asked younger ppl for their coins and money, if u refused to give them, they would rob and beat u.

                            so i always hid the coins and money in my shoes or i asked some older guys with me togther to the arcade hall.
                            I think now those rascals maybe over 30 years old and have married or even have chilrens, haha.

                            but now, the pcs and the netcafes are taking the place of arcade game hall.
