Ohh I can play one round of Street Fighter 3, praise Jesus!!! ya convence store visits were about $5 for that stuff. sorry to see that all a toonie gets yas is sf 3. that is a shame that they dont take quarters like they use too. $2 is a rip for one round. |

IMO thats what killed the arcade industry. Shoving a few quarters into a machine to play a game was great. A bunch of friends all grabbed like $10 bucks and there was your whole night. Its cheaper to buy a game and play at home with your friends. Think about it, if you fight over 30 matches with a friend thats $60 bucks....

Doesn't stop the Japanese arcade industry, which charges just as much per play... -Tom Well, the arcade industry appears to be very much dying in Japan as well. |

ARCADES! How I miss them! I used to go quite often back in my university and college days. :O But I would really want to try out an arcade in Japan since I would think they're not like ours with crappy old games that have been out since 1980. :P
And we have this "arcade" in Mississauga called Playdium (used to be Sega City but I guess it got bought out) and recent radio commercial boasts of how they have the LATEST games and all that. 9_9
Bull. Shit.
Their latest games are from the late 90's - early 2000's. They DO update shooters like Time Crisis and House of the Dead though but Christ, all the fighting games, racing games, and Guitar Freaks and Hiphopmania are from eons ago.
Oh, DDR is there too and what's funny is that they keep the 1st US version there with the new one. ^^;
Anyway, since they were so crappy with keeping up with arcade games, they started including lots of stupid coin and carnival games like shoot the coin through a moving hole or something. You get tickets if you win and then trade in the tickets for crap.
It's such a sad place. :(
I find that more of the Bemani stuff was over at the Chinese malls. I got to play a bit of Para Para Paradise once. I feel more embarassed on that than a DDR machine. ^^;

My parents are going to the market within 2 or so hours.  Fish will be bought, and consumed. I love fish. Fish is also very good for the brain. FISH! |

I ate fish yesterday. In fact, I took some after reading Justinzero's post about sushi. Although, I PREPARED the food before I ate it.  |
