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 went up with my friend to watch her play soccer in Port Saint Lucie. Won first game 4-1, lost second 2-0. Field was in kinda bad shape. Up here in Palm Bay, there used to be an arcade I went to called Space Coast Games and it had everything, even had Resident Evil 3 there once, which was not the easiest thing to control. Anyway, got shut down a few years ago and that's been the last I've heard of any sort of an arcade scene other than Andretti's, which has a very bad one, only good game being Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga. What about over there where you two live?
