For some reason I was moved by the owner's speech.

@Aiyoros Because they haven't grown up with them being better than their home systems. Home systems are now better or equal to arcades so there is no want to visit. When I was growing up though, we never had a home system and arcades were always better quality.

Strangely enough we had a video arcade called Aladdin's Castle in Rolling Acres mall which is now a dead mall. I remember the arcade shut down pretty quick after the early 90s when it opened

@joeypesci well, that's only partly true. You could easily build a arcade machine today that looks better than a PS3/Xbox 360 game. Because the hardrware is specificly designed with the arcade game in mind. On top of that, it can be more expensive (5000$ for a new arcade machine isn't uncommon). So you can have much better hardware in there than a typical console that people have at home!

@Hotrodx199 Then you should do a nickel arcade! :) They're starting to become popular.

I would've loved to see the faces of those kids the following year: Street Fighter II

I love in a town full of like 4000 people, a small town. Kids always snort coke and do pot and crap, because there's nothing to do. I want to open up an old school arcade, with lots of classic arcade games, and i want to run the arcade at a cheap price! 25 cent arcades instead of this stupid $1.00 per play, that's crap. A retro arcade in every town would make a difference!

Tatsumi's Round Up 5 Super Delta Force is the first video arcade game shown in this video.
