Once Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat hit Super Nintendo/Sega Genesis, that was the beginning of the end for arcades.

Before then, the arcades was PACKED....You'd routinely see 30/40 muthafukkaz gathered around JUST TO WATCH a couple

of dudes go at it in SF/MK

so many random memories such as:

discovering chun lis fireball!

how hype the music in time crisis wuz!

accidentally discovering that 2 playerz can combine their attackz in the simpsonz arcade game!

the hologram room stage for x-man: cota!

using iceman to wash the ENTIRE game!

observing a arcade attendant use the "free play" code on killer instinct, then Me using that same code to play for free EVERYTIME I went there!

I sometimes head out to Barcade and play TMNT from time to time.

I’ve been talking myself in and out of buying the TMNT arcade game for my basement for YEARS
