This is our current arcade, smh they sold the Street Fighter 4 machines to a arcade in Cali

One of the people that work there broke the Tekken 6 machine but we still got Tekken 6 BR

2 Tekken 5's,Marvel vs Capcom 2

Our main arcade used to be Wizards but they closed in the late 90's, GOAT arcade in MI, used to be the official arcade for location tests in the Midwest for Capcom and Namco

I grew up right across the street from it

Growing up in Seattle I went to one at the mall called Silver Coin. Then there was one by my house call the Command Center. The Silver Coin was always packed because it was the mall, but Command Center was in a business neighborhood, so it was always empty. When I was really young it was Street Fighter2 Turbo, Xmen, TMNT, and Captain Commando. As a teen I moved up to play Time Crisis, or Virtua Cop, of course House of the dead. I then got a job at Family fun Center, and would play games like Tekken or MArvel Vs Capcom on my breaks. Now at 27 I go to Gameworks near my job in Downtown Seattle on my lunchbreaks. They have all the new games for the Arcade. The SFIV tournaments are crazy. I love console gaming, but arcades is where it started from!!

it was called West End.. the only shit i can remember we use to walk up there with 5 beans and go hard on Run N Gun..and probably a couple of shooting games..

During middle school we use to gotothe comic shop and play the NEOGEO game they had there.. Also we had this Deli right across the street where we would play willow and some game that escapes my mind.. all i know the guy looked like a geek with a gun..

Around the way when the Koreans owned the corner store.. they had Mario Bros 3.. i think and them niggas wa cheap as fuck because that shit had a time limit on it.. liek word up it was a seperate little counter above the screen....i might have played once.. that shit was terrible.. cheap bastards

and my father use to take use to Funland or whatever that shit was called.. shit was a super arcade.. good times

They probably got tired of the lil niggas coming in there winning at Mario 3 all the time. You know you can play that game for hours and not die once.

I was actually at that tournament in that Free1up video but I dont see me

Its Family Fun Center in Oakland Mall

SMH I miss the days when even 7-11s had arcade machines

That Seattle Gameworks sounds dope,

we had one at Great Lakes here but it closed down lol they spent like 35 stacks on this shooting game that went up and down like a elevator.

And it costed 5 bucks per play lol

I doubt arcades will ever come back in the US. The economy is too fucked up

I went to a daycare that had pinball machines & arcades. They had Robocop, The Main Event (wrestling game by Konami), and Bad Dudes while I was there. Good times! But pretty much every movie theater & mall had an arcade gallery until around 99. There's a Gameworks in the mall downtown that was supposed to get a big boost, don't know if it ever did or not. It was originally called Sega City. We just now got a Dave & Busters in '09 that's pretty nice but needs more recent games.

in japan we have a city called "Akiba" shits a nerds wet dream
