Well whats the latest games to hit your arcade? this way the whole forum can get a heads up on what is exactly coming out.

theres this new Light gun game called 9-1-1 which uses a new system where it follows your movement so you can pretty much have free movement mimiced on the screen. rather nice. so whats new where your at?

Now I haven't been to an arcade in nearly 5 years. The newest game then? I forget.

I also have not been to any arcades in quite a long time... Why pay 1$ to shoot for 1 minute at a screen when you can shoot all day on your pc.

I'd like to know why people still go to arcades... when I was a kid, I brought 5$ and went to play and could play for 3-4 hours on that 5$... these days, 5$ gives me 5-10 minutes if I'm lucky. They are so not worth it anymore it's not funny. In the old days, I'd go with my brother and we'd set ourselves up at some arcade and play till we cleared it. We did that for classics like Golden Axe or the 6 player Xmen they had... now those were games that were worth it and only cost 0.25$ to play.


I remembered another classic that's not as old. The Diehard arcade, now that was a cool one. A few friends and I tried to beat it before a movie but would you believe the thing hung on us when we killed the final boss... what a true game ending, having the friggin' freeze on you.

The worst is Dave and Busters you have no idea how much the games cost. I think they do that on purpose.

You should see the horror here. it is 75 cents for one game of MvC2, and the damage is set at beyond normal. 2 combos can kill one character flat! it's pointless.

I can't remember what it's called now, but it's in the thunder series (hydro thunder,etc) but it has snowmobiles it's kind of fun they have weapons now too I guess to spice up the series a bit.

Actually I do remember the last time I went to an arcade. The game room in ESPNzone. I don't usually play to many video games though, maybe Daytona with my friends but that is about it.

I usually spend all my "points" on the hockey game. It is fun to wing a wristshot at the fake goalie.
