Default Arcades

Do you have any arcades where you live? There used to be tons out here, but they've all since closed. The closest we have are some games at the bowling alleys and lazer park arenas.

Yeah... I know ooofffff 2... One is at the mall, another is down by another movie theater... But the arcades around here NEVER get any new games when they come out... we're stuck with a bunch of old junk...

The only time I go to them is if I have quarters and a little bit of time to kill before a movie or something...

None around here -- Derry is too poor to have an arcade.. there are ones around in different towns, but I never go to them anyways.

There are lots of arcades around, like there are some in the mall and stuff. But i would rather not spend all my money there, i could just rent a video game and pay alot less.

There are no arcades where I live. It is a shame. There used to be one at the local mall, and everybody used to go there, but now there are none exept for a few machines at the movie theatres.

Not really. Gotta head to the Mall of America. But let's put it this way, it's well worth the drive.

Yes there's loads but I rarely go to them, occasionally I do in the summer.

Now then I have a thread to make about a great arcade game I played but I really dont know what forum to post it in, I could bung it in here but..... aah I think I'll put it in Fight Club.

Yep there are absolutely loads of them in England, in most coastal areas, so I get to play on them in the summer. The arcade nearest to me was vandalised years ago

Yea, there are some, but most dont have any new games, so I dont really visit often. When I was in PA last year, my aunt took me to this sports bar place, they also had an Arcade. But the thing was, on like certian days and certian hours, all the games are free. Yes, you just push start, and they play, and if you die, just push it again withoug putting any money in. Lets just say I was in friggin heaven, it was great. And they had some pretty cool games, like silent scope, and a couple other good ones...
