Arcade games in the home: a rebirth?
Nostalgia's a perennial favourite for everyone, and gaming is no exception. We all lust after the arcade games of yesteryear, remembering disappearing coins and impossible high scores, and complaining that it isn't like it used to be.
The arcade may not be dead, though--simply transplanted into a new location, our homes. Casual gaming and emulators on the PC, the Xbox Live Arcade and the Nintendo Revolution are all breathing, or promise to breathe, new life into our old favourites--so much so that some of them become more popular than full-price games. 2old2play puts it down to our being older--less time, more nostalgia, perfect for arcade-style games.
