Miss going to arcades

Because now I can't play this awesomeness anymore.

I'm half tempted to drive to SD just to play the watered down American version again. Oh so many wasted quarters and bruised knuckles...

Being a child of the 80's (heck, the 70's) I fondly remember the arcades in pizza parlors, movie theaters, or the mall. I even remember the local arcade in the neighborhood. RIP California Games, Coast Games, Wonderland, Yellow Brick Road... You are sorely missed, old friends.

of course, that's not including all the arcades back in Japan. I so want to return to Asia again.

I know what you mean )in a way) since Riverside used to be a backwater-not-up-to-the-times city. Now it's being modernized which means no more Karate Kid dojo, no more local Tilt, and no more fields of orange orchards. Changes like that make me realize how much I missed Riverside when I was younger. :(

That game was fun! You're not in SD anymore?

Nope. Couldn't afford it anymore. =cries=
