- #redirect Arcade	+ '''A'''rcades are are something of a dying breed of ["Videogaming"]. Many gamers got their start on arcade games during a time when console based gaming couldn't compare to what you saw in arcades. As technology progressed however, home gaming became more and more advanced and at the same became less and less expensive. Sadly, the popularity of home gaming has ultimately killed the arcade industry making arcades an increasingly rare sight for the past 10 years. + + Arcade games are still very popular amongst gamers. Many of the more popular arcade games have been ported over to consoles, many of which are very faithful recreations of the original. Still, playing arcade games at home doesn't match the feel of a real arcade, with the lights, noise and community of people gathering around someone who is about to beat a game or get to a level you've never even seen before. You also don't get to see the latest gimmickry in arcade technology such as ridable motorcycles, shooting games and the extremely rare 360 degree flight simulator ([http://www.system16.com/sega/hrdw_r360.html Sega R-360]). + + And nothing, but nothing, can match the feeling of when you were seven years old and beat the snot out of some twenty-something in a good fighting game, or blew the doors off someone in a good racing game. Of course, as you got older and started getting your own butt kicked by kids that were your age, justice was served. + + Today it is very hard to find a proper arcade. Most of the arcade games you'll find are in a sad state of disrepair, buttons and joysticks broken and have bad screen burn. They are often found in a dark corner of a restaurant or (worse) a bar by the bathrooms. + + Here's a list of local places that have arcade games.
