I played the shit out of Karate Champ before there was Street Fighter. Some guy down the corner from my house has a cab in his garage that I saw (untagged) during a garage sale, perhaps the very same one I put so many quarters in.

Then through sheer chance, this girl I know was living in this black dude's mom's house along with an additional couple and the dude from that couple is related to the people in that house. We were drinking "moonshine" and I found this out and additionally that they wanted to sell it so maybe I should have asked at the sale. Been waiting for word to creep back that I should throw them a low ball but a bunch of drama has happened with those people since then, the black dude and that dude's girlfriend are a couple now.

I was born just late enough that arcades fell out of favor here in the US. By the time I was old enough to appreciate the act of visiting an arcade, they were all gone from my town. Now the best I can hope for is some tiny corner of a restaurant with like a boat racing game or a hunting simulator.

Wish I could find a place like this, I envy you.

That Time Out arcade is pretty representative of how arcades looked when I was allowed to go to them unsupervised. I missed out on shady ass arcades like pic related where drug deals and hookups happened. I was just teased enough to be fascinated with the culture by the small arcades at the skating rink and lake snack bar/dressing room. I'm sure some FUN shit happened in or around that structure but it was torn down by the time I was a teenager.

There once was a time (in the 90's and early 00's) when every dingy bar had an arcade cabinet, and all the kids went there to spend time and money.
Countless stories of theft, fights and assorted weird shit can be told of such places.
Now arcade cabinets are pretty much concentrated in shopping malls where they charge literally 'bout tree fiddy for a token.

I remember when Mortal Kombat cabinet came out in our local bowling alley. Kids at school were talking about this game where you can rip the head and spine off of a guy and everyone was so hype, We would go to the bowling alley and watch people play just hoping and praying that someone would do a fatality. There was even rumors of fatalities that didn't exist and some kids would debate if Sub Zero's spine pull was even real.

I still have my original Mortal Kombat tshirt, I'm sure I have a few old pics somewhere of me wearing it back int he day but I'll have to go through some old pics and look.

Ah man, fuck me I haven't seen one of those in a while. I remember going to some weird mega arcade/restaurant in NC in either the late 90's or early 2000's that had one of those. Some sort of game where you shot soldiers on a beach or something? I only had a GBC at that point since my family wasn't keen on video games so it really blew my mind. I actually think that trip was what changed my dad's mind on video games to be entirely honest. He found some sit down cabinet shooting game where you fought an eel in a sunken ship and he kept begging me to play with him because he liked it so much. Wish I could remember the name of that game, I'm sure he'd be happy about it.
Come to think of it, that trip really must have changed his view on games entirely since we got a PS2 for Christmas either the same year or shortly after.
