a place to chat about some video games you used to play at home, or arcades you used to frequent to shell out quarters at.

for arcades: i went to the ones in heritage and crossroads mall. The one at crossroads became notorious for attracting hoodrats in the years right before its demise.

In fact, about 6 or 7 yrs ago, some moron brought a gun to crossroads and fired it.,.i think it was a gang thing..it was right by the arcade.

Heritage Park had Aladdins right by one of the entrances to the mall..it was small, but the selection of games it did have was rather good, then when it closed, another one opened almost in the exact center of the mall...i think it was owned by a private single owner. it didnt last too long.

I grew up in the "bit" age..playing everything mostly from 8-bit up to the last string of consoles (Ps2, xbox, and gamecube)..i sorta hung up on buying new consoles anymore, cause IMHO they are getting too complex and are straying away from that simple element of addictive simple gameplay.
