Simple, it's easier to get yourself killed on a tricycle then finding arcade games in the Netherlands. Besides, who DOESN'T want a Shaq Attaq pinball machine? That, and Killer Instinct rocks. The person who had that stand challenged me to a few matches, and even when he got the Eyedoll cheat to work, i still kicked his ass.

Raziellink Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Now I shall try to top you with the pics of Japanese arcades. I'll be going to Tokyo in a week and will come back with the photos!! Victory shall be mine maybe!! I bet it will, considering i simply stumbled upon these. I expected certain games, like Time Crisis 2 (one of my all-time favorites), and Street Fighter 2, but they weren't there! Luckily KI and KoF made up for it.

Steben Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Question: Why do arcades suck so much in the U.S., generally? The only arcade I've ever been to that was at least partially entertaining was a Dave & Buster's in Dallas, which is a good ways away from Auburn, AL. I'd like to think that if someone actually made the investment to make a good arcade, without all the crap games people don't care about, and with a huge selection of new and classic arcade games, that it could be profitable. But maybe I'm just living in a dream world, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcades used to be able to pull in money from all sorts of people, but now arcades are about small groups, like the hardcore fighter fans, the hardcore old school game fans, the rhythm game kids, all that. Now with online gaming, gaming at home, you just aren't making money having an arcade unless you can pull in one of these crowds constantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the right location (big city instead of the middle of nowhere) it might work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
