Ah yes......walking into the arcade and those sounds tripping yer mind into a euphoric tantrum of quarter dropping wonderment....... tron , afterburner, galaga, spy hunter, ........ Damn good times
I had an Atari 2600 as a kid, then Apple IIc, then Nintendo, Super Nintendo.
First game I played online was Quake. Lots of the Team Fortress mod, and a little Thunder(something) CTF.
Then StarCraft, Diablo 2, Quake 2, 3, Unreal / UT, Half-Life 1, 2. After that I moved to Acheron's Call 2, PlanetSide 1, Star Wars Galaxies.
Then back to strategy games with Star Wars: Empire at War. Then mobile games.
I may have an addiction to electronic games.

Make the Angel of Fear great again!
Restore the single target damage!
No other character has been nerfed so many times!
Many other characters do much higher damage, and have USEFUL passive skills!
Why do you hate that character SO MUCH?
Very cool man. I don't think gaming has the social aspect that it used to back when arcades were a thing... they always had a special, dingy charm all their own. Your story made me think of this article from Nintendo Power, back in the day...
I remember thinking that was about the coolest thing I'd ever seen, at the time.

I dunno if i agree, while back in the day when arcades where actually a thing... people who wanted to play games used to go OUTSIDE (Holy Shit), but now i think its best to destroy the social aspect, back in the day you couldnt stay at an arcade for like 6 am, but in your house on your pc, you can stay up to 2pm! And tbh the social aspect of gaming didnt actually die.. it still lives in the mics of every cod player screaming and swearing at you cuz ur shit at the game! But to this day putting your sweet sweet coins into a machine and playing some time crisis is amazing, there is still an arcade near my house... used to go there alot as a kid cuz i had no pc or psx... used to play house of the dead... like... alot

No question there's still a social aspect to gaming... hell, the troopers section wouldn't exist without that aspect, would it? And Barcades are a cool phenomenon too (though there's never enough pinball on hand for my taste). Arcades just seemed cooler than they actually were I think, as a kid.

If you could, this board would lose some of its importance.
