I would love old school arcades. I feel like, most people today just don’t know what a wonderful place they used to be.
No stupid toys to win. No tickets. No tokens or any virtual currency.
Most games were a quarter with some of the larger ones being two quarters. You just hung out, played games, met new people, got to experience a wide range of games from shooters, side scroller fighters, sports, etc.
It was truly magical. Was one of the best things at the mall.
Go to a barcade? This concept still exists. It is just for adults now.
Most of them are free play with $20 entry. There are so many barcade near me - I don’t even bother with the ones that charge quarters. It was a rip off back then, and it’s still a rip off now

Wait, didn’t the arcades literaly have coins-for-lives system?
Yeah, the games would allow you to continue from where you died for another quarter, as long as you got it in fast enough
