Having to go to the laundromat or K Mart with your Mom

Then you see they got some arcade machines next to the shopping carts

when you learn to love cheap games cause you only get so much change to play

i had to stop playing the racing games that say you need a whole dollar in quarters, will never forget the shame I had

felt like a new man with lawnmower money

A lot of people are building DIY consoles with MAME this emulator program. You can drop hundreds of old arcade games into one console.

I called text support one day this dude was so happy he EMAILED ME a picture of his setup

If I had the space I might try doing it.

My former college roommate did it...now that he has kids it's super convenient. He loaded that shyt up with all types of games. Its pretty awesome

It ain't the same, we got a version of that at the mall around the corner, they go for the popular stuff or the super jap stuff

Guess I'll drown my sorrows in beer instead

Here's the pictures of Bournemouth:

Low key was the hood booger hangout in my neighborhood growing up

First time I ever smoked weed was out back of my local spot

Went in that bytch high as a mug

I was just thinking that.

Arcades would be filled with 8 to 18 year old kids all interacting with each other.

What could possibly go wrong.

Then throw in a pool hall too



It's probably the reason I thought kids born in the 70s were so damn Savage

Having a pocket full of quarters and beating some older kid on X-Men vs Street Fighter

i miss when gaming wasn't for p*ssy mouth breathers who never leave the basement

most of these online trolls would have been food in arcades. got their change took and send to the back of the line.

let's one day talk about how the "culture" and demographics of gaming changed from the arcade to the console/computer for worse...
