/vr/ - Retro Games

Arcades were absolute magic.

To understand arcades you have to understand that back then there was no considerable internet. Gaming magazines were slow. Which means YOU got to see the new games first before magazines had a chance to print the infos/photos. Which meant you would walk into the arcade and every time there was a new game in the corner. Like BAM... Capcom's Punisher, BAM... Virtua Fighter, BAM King Of Fighters 94 and so on...

There was no bullshit factor with arcade games because all games were there on display. That didn't leave room for hype marketing. If a game sucked you wouldn't plunge a second coin inside. A scary place for companies that relied on bullshit marketing for sure.

When the playstation among other factors made Arcades obsolete gaming changed forever.

THANK YOU SONY YOU GREEDY FUCKS.
