/vr/ - Retro Games

Here's a question. What did Japanese arcade games look like before shit like the Blast City took over? I can't find clear answers what games like TMNT or X-Men looked like in Japan.

Forgot a few

Someday I will welcome to die with 4 other people

When I was a 8 yr old kid there was the classic XMen arcade game, that I was dying to play. so I was dropped off at the arcade with $20 while my mom shopped around the mall.

I turned the $20 into quarters, ready to play the game. but it was occupied by older college aged dudes. So I stood there, patiently waited my turn.

My turn never came, they just played with each other and kept reloading coins. They knew I was standing there but they didn't even care.

Finally when my mom came, I didn't even get to play even once. In the car ride home, I cried.

>anyone giving a different answer than this

come on, guys.

Most of these things had seats. Supposedly, in podunk towns in the middle of nowhere, you could find diners that had tables like this too(as seen in The Wizard). I was never fortunate(?) enough to live in a town that cool, though...

Surprised this wasn't posted yet...

I had fun with this one, but I didn't play as much as I would have liked.

I ended up spending most my time playing fighters and beat em ups.
