>>ByronGman May be it is old school for you, but not for me. I used to live in Hong Kong and I love arcades. Unlike the US, the cities in Asia have higher population density comparing to those in US. You can find many arcades around the street and they are awesome and pretty new. You can play shooting and even card game online in the arcades store. I do admit that I miss arcades since Ive been moving to NY for 5 yrs. The real fun is you can compete with your friend and other people face to face and we all give whatever we've got, with real skills, no hacks.
Also, I've fortgot to mention that eveytime I pay a visit in Hong Kong, I usually spend around $40USD within 3 weeks in those arcades machines. And I have to WAIT to get my turn to play. So I do think there is obviously a market and worth putting $ in. *sorry for using addition comment.

Arcades are soooo old school, you can't really blame them... although there is some pain in the lost nostalgia.
