I have always loved going to the arcades, a totally different feeling to gaming at home.
I’ve seen the industry slowly die and resurface and gaming is stronger today and arcades are still in business after the pandemic.
Here are a few of the games I played while in China. Some are ‘bootlegs’ heavily inspired by Japanese rhythm games but they are fun and have a tonne of music to choose from. Shuffling on an arcade machine is fun 😂
Arcade credits are all digital now, fumbling around with coins is nostalgic but it's much easier to pay for credits by phone. Most games there also have mini apps to sign into for extra features and scoring, it's pretty dope!
What arcade games have you played?
