I do miss the good Ol days at the arcade, Playing and hanging out with the gang.
But I relive the past by buying the old games and restoring them and have my own game room at my house. We have PS2, GameCube, Sega satern, N64, NES, and alot of games for our computers but the kids and their friends rather go and play the old pinball, darts, and arcade games.
I have built and build arcade cabinets with modern computers in them connected to the old style control pannels with joysticks, buttons, spinners, and tracballs. The have 19 inch to 27 inch tv screens and play alot of the old games.
Here is some links to look at if you'd like to see examples of what I'm talking about and maybe inspire others to keep the old arcade games alive.

I definitely miss the arcades from the 1980s...I have fond memories of stealing quarters from my a**h**e stepfather and taking them down to the "Cue Club" to play Donkey Kong, Xevious, and Stargate. Home consoles have replaced the arcades of old :(
Remember that game show "Starcade"?..heh.

Totally! Skee ball, broken pin ball machines, ten cent candy machines, walking by the Neo Geo game and wondering if/why anybody played that thing at all....
