Arcade Alley

When I was a kid (oh, how it seemed not long so ago, and oh, not so far away)
video game arcades were the biggest thrill for a youngster. Now, over twenty
years after the video game revolution, one can barely find a decent arcade,
even in New York. Sure, you see one here, and there, in a mall, and whatnot,
but they are just a novelty these days. The main reason for this decline is
simply the fact that you can play better games in stunning quality on the home
systems being sold today. The one thing all these home systems cannot duplicate
is the feel of being "in" an arcade.

I used to spend endless hours in such places when I was a teenager and I agree with you :
there is a huge gap between then and today.Yes,the feeling is not the same,there is a
certain decline.

I do miss those arcades, there are only a couple left in Perth, and they seem to be a lot more seedier than I remember them when I was young. In Japan they still are everywhere, but the games a quite different and require a lot more skill to play.
