2489 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Touching story. Having your own personal "Battle Cat" must have been pretty fun. Loved the Altered Beast mash-up idea your young brain came up with. | Aug 08, 2015 | ||
2488 | Article | kstrom22 | I love this article, and I love the (remaining) true and old arcades. The one nearest my house has what I can only describe as an SNES store demo. You can play either Super Mario World, The Addams Family, or F-Zero. It's killer. It seems like all Arcades have that same "dizzy patterned carpet," why do you think that is? Here's a possibly controversial question, which are better, token-exchange machines, or quarter change-maker machines? My brother and I were always on different sides of the debate... | The Mall Arcade | Aug 08, 2015 | |
2487 | Article | massreality | Thanks everybody. echindna64: I originally had a huge write up on Area 51, since it was my favorite arcade game. However, it came out a few years after the time period of this article, and I actually never played Area 51 in an arcade. Only in movie theaters. It was such a great game, I even bought it on PC. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2486 | Article | onipar | Oh yeah, those winter gloves! I loved hypercolor AND the gloves. It was brilliant. I think I was still young enough that sweaty pits didn't bother me much :-) | Do You Remember: HyperColor Shirts | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2485 | Article | OldSchool80s | Enjoyed reading this. Nice work! Have some awesome 80s memories of going to the arcade and Showbiz Pizza. I also remember the tabletop Ms. Pac-Man at Pizza Hut, but never realized that was a universal thing. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2484 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wouldn't it have been fun to brag to other kids about how your mom could kick their mom's butt, knowing she had the skills to back that up. LOL. "My mom is a black belt in Karate... she could whip your mom's butt!" "Oh yeah! Well my mom is an alien with super powers. She could melt your mom's face!" "Seriously... my mom is a black belt." "Oh yeah, well... I bet she cooks bad. Yeah." | The Karate Class Kid | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2483 | Article | Vaporman87 | Hunting historical treasure, even in the form of information and education, still can be fun. I know when I was a kid, I really did not care to visit a museum on a field trip, or have guides go on and on about the history of a monument. But as an adult, those things have taken on new meaning and importance. Especially local history which tends to be easily lost to that of national history. | Digging for Treasure | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2482 | Article | Vaporman87 | @echidna: There are still some arcades out there that have stuck to the classic business model, but they are few and far between and typically located in the heart of giant metropolitan areas. Which is exactly the opposite of where I live. LOL. | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2481 | Article | Vaporman87 | HyperColor was cool, but in my youth it couldn't compete with the gloves that you wore during winter that had images appear/disappear on them. Still, they had their fifteen minutes of fame, and I was there to revel in it. Good thing they didn't invent pants that did the same. High school would have been even more awkward than it already was for us all. LOL | Do You Remember: HyperColor Shirts | Aug 07, 2015 | |
2480 | Article | echidna64 | Way to go Mass! This was a great read and I love the individual details you gave with each arcade game. This def takes me back, the Simpson's game and other 4-players games were epic! Area-51 is probably the only arcade game that I beat in its entirety. It was the right balance of fun vs difficult. I tried to stay away from the games that were coin-crunchers. Nowadays, the closest thing we have to the original mall arcades is Dave and Busters | The Mall Arcade | Aug 07, 2015 |
