Quote by VetusOh! What an interesting thread, Celessa-kun! I'm an arcade nostalge, so
every summer I was always pay a visit with a friend of mine at a little
arcade store which is near our house we have at the countryside for our
summer holidays. The late '80s and the early '90s was the golden season
for arcade at Greece. Nowadays, everyone owns a videogame console or a
PC, so it's a waste of time and time for most of them to go to the
arcade store, which the most of them have been closed. Only the
hardcore gamers go at these places to play first the latest fighting
game before it will be released at consoles.
Personally, arcade is an idea way of entertainment for the summer. The
last 3-4 years there was a stupit law at Greece which was prohibited
arcade games. It's a big story and it's better to ask another greek to
tell you details - my english aren't so good to explain it. Now they
are allowed. If I would ever pay a visit again at an arcade store I
would definitely play only these kind of arcade games that you cannot
play them at the same way at a videogame console or they don't exist:
DDR, Samba De Amigo and other games that uses a special gadget to play
with like a funny hammer game I saw at the 40th episode of CCS:
As about light gun games and fightings? They cost a lots of money to
enjoy them a lot at the arcade, but at the console you can play them
again and again without spending a single coin. Hail to G-Con 2, the
ultimate light gun gadget for PS2!!!
For me, the 50% of the fun is playing them with your friends. Arcade
kakkoii!!!lol I can see your point - and nothing like that can ever be replaced indeed.

I used to be so into this game, so I had built myself a pad... never
got to making a second one to practice my doubles, but didn't need it~
The arcade was good enough. However I was disapointed in the long run,
since Konami didn't release any worthy songs.
NO way!!!!! Okay - wow - insanity indeed!
Z'OMG
let's see if I can muster some pics. I got off the photos I took from Japan, and submitted it to the official Japanese DDR website there.
Here we go. These are the official shoots from somebody else who took these pics. of this machine for this site. Don't have mine up and ready yet, however.
My Master DDR pad.
Shot up close.
Worth to me: $95 US. ROFL - good times!

i love to go to arcades but sometimes the malls can rip you off unless their like quarter machines not all this credit stuff, like the santa cruz beach boardwalk they have a really good arcade, but i go mostly to the bowling alley to play ddr or go to nickle nickle where games you pay in nickles, or james games which is really good because the people there are nice plus it's a secret location that not that many people know about. well ya i love arcades and there need be better ones not like gameworks*arcade at the ontario mills* where everything is expensive.

Good luck on your prokect ;), looks real nice :)

Time Crisis 2 - such an old classic - along with Marvel Versus Capcom 2 - now you can play them on the console that they don't become fun anymore. That's true - lol
And in any case, I do have an official Time Crisis 3 gun in my drawer somewhere. Wish I could put out a pic. but I have no digital camera with me now. *_*
Posh indeed.
Anyways, I just found some pictures of what the Midway looks like. I'm sure many of you have been to the falls before here.
That's the Great Canadian Midway me and my friends go to all the time here.
We also have a drum mania set here for the original PS and PS2.
It's really crazy to play nowadays. lol - The Fifth version especially for Beatmania as well.

Anyone played Initial D racing game in the arcade, those are fun racing against a buddy. You guys should really tried Puzzle Fighter, those games are addicting.

lol - that is very crazy indeed - wonder how much money that guy would really spend nowadays. O_o
As for me, I play DDR because its like my life - a whole lot. Been a fan for ages indeed.
The Canadian borders are always with Japanese tourists who takes pictures of us dancing and all.Some even think its called "break-dancing." I can't breakdance, I don't know how to. I just have a wild dancing technique - whatever the heck that is. It might look like it, its much faster, but I don't know what to classify it as. Sometimes I consider myself lost when I play to DDR - the steps are incredibly rapid for a 9-footer like Ayla and my feet somehow magically do the work for me. Okay - I control my feet, but not like that O_o - took years to get used to it, actually.
As for Beatmania, I wish I was good with my hands - but they aren't as well synchronized as my feet really are here. lolis

I used to remember when we played Crazy Taxi and the Jurrasic Park game - I really loathe that sort of stuff - lol
We also did have a bowling alley down by the pool area, and it costs about a dollar-fifty to play, which was crazy, but it was a cool bowling alley where there's no such thing as gutter balls most of the time, even. Both ends were filled with sponge pretty much, so if you totally threw the ball at the side, it ricocheted off the padding and slowly sloped down towards the bowling alley. Then we just keep receiving more bowling balls, so we all chucked them down like 5 at a row. ROFL - crazy funness indeed.

I was like - Guys, that was rude!
But still, they were laughing like real hard, saying it's fun how those guys really humiliate themselves.
Of course, when I was up there, I humiliated them - Ha, take that! Then they'll be like - you're a girl, your light, so that's why you can dance so well.
I need to smack their heads - they've been beaten by a girl, Shame indeed - no excuses. lol

I been to a few Arcades ^^' a place call Dream Machine, Good Times, Salem Willow, and a few others. ( I happen to be a game freak for your information ^_^' ) I play mostly fighting games like MvC2 , KoF series, Tekken series and whatever fighter anyone wants to play me in. I use to love winning in the Arcade. People is like... "who is this guy? Dam! he kill you! Not perfect?" ( good times, good times ) You get alot of respect when they is a line of quarters and you're the one that's not moving out cause you're winning. I play DDR if I can but those freaks that live on the pad won't give me a chance. And when I do go up... they would most of the time mirror you ( I hate that, sometimes when I don't know the person ) I play alot off shooter too. Love the Time Crisis series ^^ not much of a racer in the Arcades but I better at home. Anyway, just lately... I have not met anyone that's a s good as me like I would before in places like this. I hope Arcades in the future would not just be stories you hear from you're grandfather or something.
I'd rather be hated for who I am rather than loved for who I pretend to be...

ROFL - good excuse indeed. If somebody trips, they point to the others and say that they jinxed them in the arcade room.
I just laugh from their lack of dancing and call them the n00bs of DDR. lol

I used to frequent them when I was in junior high (year 1995 and 1996). Those games like Daytona, Outrunners, Time Crisis and Virtua Cop were really addictive and burned a huge hole in my pocket.
