Great article, although I see on mistake: You used Defender and easy in the same sentence!

Great article man, keep it up.

I love current technology, but it sucks that arcades are one of the many victims of it, especially since I really didn't get to experience one in their heyday

How long do you want me to play? I can play forever, but usually end at 3 hours in.

Also, above me....amen. They just can't keep up with consoles and the home experience....sadly.

Nice article.
Made me really miss arcades. My parents owned an arcade in the early to mid 90s. NBA Jam, Mortal kombat 1,2,3. Street Fighter 2 and its variants, Killer Instinct, pac-man, centipede, gyruss, NARC, altered beast, Dr mario, Gorgar pinball!! my dad owned and restored over 100 games...damn I miss so many of those games!!!
If I ever have the room and funds I'd probably be buying a ton of arcade games.

lol, if your town is lucky enough to have one, a Dave & Busters I guess, or if you live in Orlando, Disney Quest.
