Was The Arcade Scene Dangerous Back In The Day?

[Swiggy]

breh, the Chuck E. Cheese on Michigan and Telegraph STAYED having fights up there over shyt like tickets and prizes....


Worst i ever seen was this place in a detroit suburb called "the Butterfly" that had ALL the A1 fighting game cabinets. I played this one cat in Capcom vs SNK2 Terry/Kyo/Ken team was giving him the beats....he then tried to throw hands cuz Kyo perfected him WITH a Dramatic KO

the scrap spilled over into the parking lot...most fun i ever had in a fight in my life.

It was real out here

You old enough to remember the Red Baron Arcade on Telegraph in Taylor?

Shiiiiit, it was Kobra Kai up in that bytch

i miss those days it was real out here, plus the games were next level, SNES and Sega Genesis graphics weren't touching the Arcades

now we got fakkits hiding behind their microphones on Xbox live

Things only got crazy when there was money riding on a game or somebody was being a douchebag winner. Otherwise the arcade was a happy place.

If you threw a dude in Streetfighter you were getting jumped outside in Brooklyn.

 

[Mensch Fontana]

shyt was fukked up if you werent nice on the sticks your ass didnt play, you had to go to the arcade mid day and shyt so you wouldnt get ran up on by some dude taking your machine

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Funny...I am surprised so many of y'all bucked over gameplay..it was always over next, and not giving up the sticks when you lost...

Fighting games got REALLY competitive and drew a crowd, but it was all love when it was done.
Those 5-in-1 SNK cabinets were underrated piff

I remember going through mad money playing X-Men with one of my homies back then in one session and just barely made it to the second stage lol

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

damn yall had some hostile arcades
Around my way, we kept it strictly to the game. None of that sucker shyt

It was one in Canada that had KOF 95, Samurai Showdown, Windjammers (which was super underrated piff) bust a move and street hoops.....I did NOT leave that cabinet.

Everyday me and my homeboys would hit up Fairyland near Kings Plaza in Brooklyn and play King of Fighters or Samurai Showdown. It was all fun, never any beef though my homeboy Kurt use to destroy everyone with little effort. I wish I could relive them times.

Arcades in the 80's and early 90's were real seedy places back in the day. You had about 30 kids smoking new ports around the cabinets. Pervs and kidnappers lurking around outside.

The fights would happen at Marco's Pizza that had the 25 cent street fighter and mortal kombat games

25 cents!!!! That shyt was 50 cents everywhere else
