    Arcade

    Platform »

    Stand-alone machines specialized for individual games. Arcades began the game industry and peaked in popularity before home consoles took over the gaming public. Arcade games usually cost 25 cents, or 100 yen, per play. Known for the most cutting-edge technology of their time, arcades have the largest video game library, and greatest variety of control methods, of any platform.

    I miss the old arcade I used to work in. I used to work in a Namco's Aladdin's Castle that was in the mall. It was great at the time. I would stay after closing and play all the games late into the night until the security guards made me leave. I really miss the social aspect of the arcade the most. People went there with the singular purpose to game. It was never hard to strike up a conversation about video games there. I find that sadly missing in my life now as I am the only true enthusiast in my circle of friends.
