/vr/ - Retro Games

Let's try a "creative exercise" of sorts, /vr/.

Imagine if arcades had never declined. What would the games be like now? And if you want, what do you think the actual arcades themselves would be like currently?

Remember, we're assuming there had been NO decline of arcades whatsoever. So they're still at their 1980's peak and drawing billions of dollars per year.

It's the late 80's i am a kid that sneaks into the arcades and spends all my money there. On my way home i fantasize about how awesome it would be to have some of these machines at home. So i look into home consoles. Discover the nes which has games that look like crap. There isn't a single sega game on there. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE SEGA GAME ON THERE. Plus the games look like crap. A little later i get a master system for shinobi, friend of mine gets an nes. I go play nes at his place and the games are total crap and they look like crap. nes = UNFUN
