[QUOTE="Sumez, post: 52612, member: 1547"] Funny story, cause a local arcade that opened recently, is focusing mainly on "retro" games, basically because those are the games people relate to video arcades (ie. they want real games, not the freakshow that modern arcade games are, like I described above. :P). And the pinball machines are the ones that generate the most income, by far. Times truly changed. People will go home, play the arcade games on MAME, then go to the arcade and play for 45 minutes on (the equivalent of) a quarter to set a high score in the arcade. People can't do that with pinball. They pop in (the equivalent of) 4 dollars to play a social 4 player game for a few minutes, and when the game ends, they do a rematch. [/QUOTE]
