Who else spent hrs at the arcade as a kid?

Up until Tekken Tag. I remember letting kids win the 2nd Rd to get their token's worth and me having to stay longer. My daughter still goes to the arcade 2x a week.

Dude I still go to the arcade a couple times a year.

Been going to pinball petes since as far back as can remember

I could play time crisis , silent scope or whatever time crisis has the mp5 for hours on end.

My dad was an alcoholic and I lived at the bowling alley arcade one aummer and got pretty good at mortal combat 2. I could grief you with Kung Lao i swear. If I could catch you with one spin the fight was over and you weren't getting back in it.

When I was a kid, everything was an arcade!

That first video game boom was frickin glorious, they had video games in restaurants, doctors offices, convenience stores, laundromats, gas stations, literally every single place a kid could possibly go had walls full of arcade cabinets just setting there waiting for your sweet delicious quarters

This was one of my favorites in the late 80's, Kow, no doubt about it!

There was an awesome arcade I went to as a kid and they had this game tucked away around corner it was almost hidden. Felt like a secret game room

 

[Stoic1]

I could sit at a Galaga machine for 30 minutes on a quarter.

I used to love Showtime : NBA On NBC, used to go play it at LaValle's Pizzeria which was underneath Tower Records right across the street from the UC Berkeley campus
I would always play as Corliss Williamson LoL

 

[TheNinja]

Bad Dudes !
And that airplane game. 1942 or 1943 or Midway. Can’t remember

 

[ChickenBrother]

Oh yeah, good times. Double Dragon was awesome and I could beat it solo on one quarter.

Cadash was also great and the ending was hilarious

 

[HoiceNJuicy]

Oh man, hours and hours and hours plunking quarters into this machine (or one like it) with my junior high buddies.

 

[ChickenBrother]

Aren't you a little young for full contact?

 

[stalehotdog]

TMNT arcade and Simpson’s arcade legit broke my mind. What a time to be a kid!

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

I spent a lot of time in the local arcade as a kid. Not to play games, but to hang out, drink, smoke weed, play with girls. Drinking and smoking was out back
Good ole days

 

[Batjester]

Hell yeah I did. Love an arcade. Would usually play pinball because you could spend all damn day there on a quarter or two.
