/v/ when was the last time you played at an arcade?
>>336642978
Went to arcade UFO a month or two ago.
I can't even remember.
Last time I played a coin-op anything was probably half a decade ago
Literally a week ago. Thinking of going tonight, but it's already kind of late.
>Real arcade
About 17 years ago?
>Dinky one at a restaurant
Couple years ago.
>>336642978
Yesterday. Living in Japan is awesome.
>>336642978
>playing coin-operated MAME roms
good goyim
2 weeks ago, but it's currently closed and being remodeled as a thematic cafe. They'll still have some machines, but it won't be the same.
>>336642978
half a year ago, Arcade Odyssey in Miami
should probably see if I can grab my friends to go
the crowd I used to go down there with moved away because of work/etc
>>336642978
actual arcade?
about 2004 or so
i hate life
>>336643136
>>336643274
God damn, I feel lucky my local cinema still carries an arcade section.
>>336643291
Indeed, there's still tons of arcades there.
>>336643435
If it was a MAME rom I'm sure it wouldnt be the Japanese version of the game.
Went to Ground Kontrol last week and spent $10 on DDR
Im actually going to one tomorrow!! I dont go too often and im not actually going to play any acade games, but they have a decent selection there! Mostly fighting and rhythm games tho
last halloween i stayed overnight at an arcade and played pop'n and IIDX until 8am
was pretty good
Whenever it was that I last went to the shore, which I can't remember exactly when I went but it wasn't that long ago. They actually had 2 early Tekken game cabs which surprised me.
>>336642978
when i was 14
Youmacon had a room with a bunch of jap cabinets (don't remember wht they were called) but they had MOTHERFUCKING VIRTUAL ON.
>>336642978
2 days ago
Really lucky that I live really close to round 1
>>336642978
why play at an arcade when you can play OVERWATCH in the comfort of your home
My local public pool had a couple arcade cabinets in the changing room 20 years ago, does that count?
over 10 years ago, marvel vs street fighter
the last REAL arcade around here (actual videogames not just little sideshow ball toss grab game shits, no lights, etc) closed down here years ago. i still fucking miss it.
>>336642978
>Real Arcade
too long
>""""""Barcade""""""
8 months ago @Dave and Busters. Had Time Crisis 5 and got a Smitty Werben Yanker Man-Jenson hat so all was good.
I was so young I had to stand on the little plastic stool in order to play that zombie themed light gun game.
>>336642978
2003? It closed while I was in 8th grade.
>family moves
>starting at a new school
>the mall with an arcade is close
>think this will be great
>i can spend some time here and learn a game and maybe make a friend and they'll go to my school
>its losing money and half the games are down for 'repair'
fuck fuck
>>336642978
>a legit arcade
a month ago
>a "barcade"
2 weeks ago
mostly to play old fighting games and pinball tables
When I lived in California after living in Maine my whole life, my girlfriend took me to this amazing place called Round One
Fucking paradise, wish we had them back home...
If any of you guys live in Jersey, Yestercade in Red Bank is a dream. It's 25 for an all you can play day pass and they have a ton of machines and two TVs with all the consoles+ a huge library.
I got in for 15 because there was a Smash tourney being held that day. I went to play smash but got distracted and only had to pay the reduced viewer fee to get in.
Never because they weren't a thing where I lived
I prefer pinball.
There's no other feeling in the world like it.
I'm not very good but I love it. I know other pinball jockeys can get the ball to go just about anywhere they want but really I can only get a good idea of that if I trap the ball first and then shoot it.
>>336643086
sheeit I miss that place so much, it's the only thing I miss about living in Texas.
I just fucking wish round 1 would come to where I am. I'm confined to playing bemani in my room, and I would kill for legit cabinets

>tfw the local cinema used to have HotD2, Virtual On, Daytona Racing 2, Neo-Geo with Metal Slug
>All replaced with a Doodle Jump cabinet, an Angry Birds slingshot game and a Kung-Fu Panda game with slap pads
>>336642978
Can't remember the last time I did, probably a couple years. I'd like to head down to NLBC, but that's 2 hours away.
>>336647930
Round 1 was so fucking awesome when I lived in CA, we went every fucking day it felt like
A big part of me still wishes I lived in CA, but...that place sucks total fucking ass now so I left.
When I was like 10 and they didn't remove the Simpsons arcade game from Costco yet.
>>336642978
last month, I got to play alot of pinball especially this one
Today, i work at one and play Time Crisis 4 atleast 5 times a day
I'm moving to Hawaii in a month to meet my gf and play at the numerous arcades she says exist there. I'm going to propose after letting her win at air hockey
>>336648446
>letting her win
Way to start a marriage on false pretenses.
>>336648446
>letting her win

>>336648446
>Letting her win
>>336642978
I think I will just make myself a bartop arcade and load it full of games.
last summer, if you can even call it an "arcade". It was one of those small ones in Coney Island with two machines that had classic games and the rest being those dumb "win tickets!" shit
I did make bank in tickets by winning the jackpot in deal or no deal twiceIt was only enough tickets for two shitty plastic samurai swords
About a month ago. There is a place about a mile from where I work that is a bar/arcade. All the games are freeplay so long as you are drinking. Its pretty awesome. They have a lot of classic shooters, beat-em-ups, and fighters.
>>336648698
Cool as those are I wouldn't want an LCD screen and twisting my frame to play against a friend. I wish there were designs for one that's bigger but could still fit on a counter.
>>336648446
>letting her win
check out this fagola
>>336648516
Don't. He's doomed. I will give him 5 years of marriage max until she's walking out of the court room with a big smile on her face and him walking out with suicidal or murderous thoughts.
>>336648446
>Not winning and cheering her by marrying her
Nigga pls
>tfw TWO barcades in my city
>not old enough to get in yet
>>336642978
About 3 years ago. Neighbor who is a hoarder gave me this 4 slot MVS for free, so hopefully I can get it running. Needs a power supply and speakers, then I'll be able to determine if the monitor and board work. Summer project for sure.
>>336648446
Are you going to hide the ring box on her side of table?
>>336648820
You can build them to whatever size you want.
I would probably use an IPS panel because crt monitors are just too darn big, heavy and power hungry.

D-do I still call a chucke'cheese an arcade?
>>336649148
man, it's cute that he's got a gf/fiancee that doesn't care about being proposed with a mcchicken, but would you WANT a girl like that?
>>336642978
2005, my last year of high school: on the mornings when we felt like skipping school we'd go to this bar on the beach that had an annexed decent-size arcade (decent-size considering the location, it was 10-15 machines in total, but by then all full-scale arcades had already died down and this was pretty much the biggest one), but once there we mostly just drank beer and played pool.>tfw looking for a picture of the place to add I found out the owner died in 2013
feels weird man
Almost a year ago in Japan.
>>336642978
>barcade an hour and a half away from me with fucking
Golden special addams family
Attack from mars
Fishtales
Funhouse
Medieval madness
KISS
and the fucking twilight zone
>I still have to wait 3 months to be able to play them
JUST LET ME IN ALREADY
>>336649353
Forgot my my pic
i have a pump it up prime cabinet in my garage
>always loved sit down arcade racers
>haven't played once since i was 10
god dammit.
Is emulating and using a pedal/wheel set up on the computer any replacement?
>>336649540
A really good one, sure. Nothing tops bike racing though.
>tfw getting all the DX Showtimes in public
Feels so dirty.
I love these threads because i live right next to the largest arcade in america.
Here's a prototype beavis and butthead cab they picked up like a month ago. There was only 10 of them ever made, and only 4 are known to exist today. Still hasn't been dumped. Mike judge has probably never even seen one of these.
>lining up to play project diva in some four story arcade in downtown Osaka
I never had to line up in fucking Hirakatashi's Sega World.
>>336650009
Damn, that's awesome. What's it like? Better than the SNES one I hope.
>>336650880
>talking shit about the SNES game
I played that game to completion not too long ago and it was a blast. Hard as fuck, as well.
>>336651023
Nah, I like it. I just thought it'd be awesome if the arcade version ended up being even better.
>>336651023
going back, I don't like much of the SNES game. Turbomall 2000 is too hard in the fish tank, and the butthole hospital light platform jumps.
easiest is Neighborhood and the Tom Anderson fight
>>336651179
>easiest is Neighborhood
funny, I found it the hardest. It had the hardest boss by far and the segment where you have to jump on clotheslines is pretty tricky.
School was probably the easiest, followed by hospital (fuck those hospital bed segments), followed by the mall.
>>336651463
Maybe I just got good at the Neighborhood level because I played it so much as a kid, I loved the dogs and old ladies.
Did the Hospital have the part with Billy Bob chasing you in a motorized wheelchair? Or was that a different game?
>>336650880
It's a CD-i game that never got finished or ported to the console. Supposedly they couldn't get it running when they obtained it and had to jerry-rig a CD-i to the cabinet to make it even run.
Haven't got to play it myself, but plan on it. looks interesting

>Did the Hospital have the part with Billy Bob chasing you in a motorized wheelchair?
Yeah, that was the one. You had almost 0 time to react to obstacles in front of you that you basically had to be jumping at all times.
Yesterday
>Technika and IIDX were down at 8otB
>Had to play other games to substitute between rounds of Jubeat
I don't understand drummania at all
Two weeks ago. Ran out of credits when I wanted to join in a friend in playing Dariusburst (that shit looks amazing with the triple-monitors).
Also could not join in on DDR and Tekken only had little young babbies playing and I didn't feel like ruining their day.
Wangan 5 is fucking fun stuff.
Maybe I'll drop by a nearby one later if I can find time for it. Get a few matches in Tekken 7 and get utterly bodied by Koreans.
>>336652183
>ruining their day
dear Xanga, today this turbovirgin (I could smell him before I saw him) came in and tried to impress me by playing a game. If he has that much cash to waste you think he'd try deodorant
love, Sophie
2 months ago at Club Sega in Japan.
>>336652307
Nice projection, bro.
>>336642978
Last weekend at Mountasia. It was pretty comfy. And the Go-karting made it feel like all those years of MarioKart/Need for Speed/Burnout/ paid off. And I got a cute lil owl plush from the games (2000 tickets). They even had old Namco classics like Galaga.
Does a convention arcade count? If so, about a year ago.
Other than that, 10-15 years ago.
Went to an animu con some months ago. Didn't like it much, but they had a little arcade zone.
Not a lot of interesting games but they had a fucking fist of the north star cab. It was pretty cool
Couple months ago
Been meaning to go back again for a while now.
Playing Battletoads on a Blast City cabinet was weird.
>>336653594
Which one? Fightingmania or the Arcsys one?
>>336653918
Is that man playing 2-player in Ninja Baseball Bat Man by himself?
I've never been in a real arcade, the closest I got was Crazy Taxi, Metal Slug, Mortal Kombat 2, and a few others at the batting cages that my dad used to take me to.

>tfw too broke to own my own arcade cabinet
>>336654701
how much are they typically?
>>336654735
$500+ for anything decent
>>336647548
Holy shit I grew up in red bank,I remember going to that arcade and the Kevin Smith comic shop all he time
>>336648446
You gotta let your girlfriend's son win first
>>336642978
Last summer, only highlight was a completely fucked up arcade Kung-Fu cabinet that barely worked. Sprites were hilariously distorted
>>336642978
Less than a week ago.

Playing arcade games on lcd's is disgusting
All of these games are low res
>>336663464
Those mini bartops are using laptops/small PCs as it is, so it's already being scaled up at some point, so at least it isn't having to deal with that.
>>336663626
Upscaled games still look like trash
And you can build a mamecab hook it to a CRT and run it via CRT_emudriver/Soft15khz to get that 15khz signal and stuff...much better than LCD shit
>>336663959
I'm more than aware of that, but all I'm saying is at least they're (hopefully) getting around any scaling the monitor would usually have to do otherwise.
About 5-6 years ago.
I miss the Trocadero
>>336642978
Played MVC2 with my brother a month ago, it was nice
Last year. Went to D&B's with some friends.
Honestly I really want to go again. I love arcades and hate that they're dead in America.
>>336642978
I've never been to an arcade. I don't know of any in my area.
i went to playdium a month ago, they have an alright selction, but they have no sprite games and too many ticket/moible games there
I've played a couple of machines in Disneyland Paris ~15 years ago.
Unvortunately, my country doesn't have a proper arcade culture since arcade machines were/are considered gambling.
>>336642978
never, my city never had them
My boyfriend took me to one two days ago right before we saw Civil War.
I got to Sega Mist 2 once a week to play Vampire Savior
Every other week I go to Kohatsu to play Cyberbots, or sometimes other days for Garou: MOW or SamSho V Sp
