Whether it was the big arcades with the pinball machines way in the back, or the grimy hood corner stores and take out food spots, them shits were the shit. Street Fighter, Mario Bros, Ms Pac Man, Berzerk, good times. Dragon's Lair blew my mind. TWO quarters, but fuck it.

X-Box and Playstation are cool, but it ain't the same as a big ass coin-op machine in an arcade.

And there were always shady characters lurking about. And some delinquent little punk trying to weasel his way into your game "You can't beat that boss, let me beat him for you"

Get your ass outta here, youngin'. This is MY quarter, my game.
