  • Net gaming just isn't the same, though. There are no flashy neon lights, no "clink clink clink" noises from token machines, no air hockey tables where all the cute girls hang out, no mobs of people watching you ace Pole Position or Yie Ar Kung Fu. Net gaming isolates us more than it socializes us.

    On the other hand, you don't have to rub shoulders with Slob Who Hasn't Bathed in Three Days or Hateful Bastard Who Picks Fistfights With Everyone, either. So I guess it's not all bad.

  • Watching this video as I wipe a tear from my eye.

    for all of you born after 1985 - you really have no idea what you missed out on. The arcade boom and bust. Playing Atari. The birth of cable TV. The birth of home video. The birth of the home computer. AWESOME music. New Coke. MTV before it was ruined by Viacom. Playing Dungeons & Dragons on P&P until the dungeon master, or all the members of your party fell asleep at 4 in the morning. TALKING on the phone...

    Feel free to add to this list.

  • Born in 1974. The arcade was heaven. Living in shermanoaks los angeles at the time. The Mall was the place to be. If you have a roll of quarters, you were king for the day. I don't even remember how I got to the mall. And if that game said, insert for extended play. Of course you did. Hotdog on a stick, defender, Tron,roller rinks, op shorts, surf clothes. As I look back, the 80's were the best. New techonalogy that simply made everyday as a kid exciting and new. Am 37 now. Can I go back please.

  • at 1:01 the symbols on the sign read as follows: No Smoking, No Littering, No Gambling, and No Shirt, No Shoes, No Dice!

  • its hard to believe this is real life.....

  • @SeventhSun close gaming is better if you are afraid of other people,in the 80s people went out and had fun,today people hide in front of a computer screen

  • @SuperTestfreak Shame that it had to be that way 

  • @JURYJOHMZOMBIE your dad told you the truth,the 80s were so great,today kids have a terrible time in history

  • My father told me about the times he went to see bands like possessed , exodus , sodom . he told me about ditching school getting high and going to the arcade . he made the 80s seem like a paradise if you were young . he told me that he feels bad for all the youth now cause these times suck lol

  • i was born in 75 and the arcade was a wonderland,i wish i had a time machine so i could live in the 80s again,adulthood sucks compared to childhood in the 80s!!!

  • @Diskoboy1974 You can thank Murray Rothstein/Sumner Redstone for MTV's bastardization, and of course Bob Pittman for being a sellout.

  • I don't remember having there being a Time Out arcade in my area when I was growing up. When are they going to invent damn time travel?
