Anyone here actually own a arcade machine? Always promised myself when I became older I would buy a Street Fighter or SNK machine...then emulation happened.:pachaha:


Use to work at Bulletproof on the Junction also. Fairyland is dead, bulletproof was still open last time I checked.

Got damn :what:, we most definitely have ran into each other then.

I have to check Bulletproof again one of these days. Hank and them cats use to rip people off worse than Gamestop. Should have never sold my Chrono Trigger. It was like new in the box and complete. Got like $10.:to:

even though emulation is around Ill still cop a couple of arcade machines just to have the experience
The place that I was talking about in my other post on this thread sells not only arcade machines but pinball machines too. They deliver it right to your house and put in for you and everything.

I remember I didn't see Turbo until I went to Cedar Point one summer. I walked into that arcade for the fukk of it, and saw it, and was like :krs:

Ran to my moms for that 2 dolla fix, and she hit me like "You ungrateful little nikka, I drove you down here to Ohio, paid to get in this bytch, and you want money to play VIDEO GAMES???" :childplease:

Me: Daddy would :smugfavre:

Moms: :hmm:

Got in 4 matches, then resumed Cedar Point activities :win:
I got into the same kinda argument about moms taking me to Boblo Island and me wanting to play in the arcade. But with Canada's exchange rate, you got $1.25 for every US $1. So You could eat good @ the arcades there.

breh time crisis was ultimate camaraderie

nikka you was putting down a dollars worth of gaming....a fukkn dollar....that shyt was like a downpayment on a house to us

I remember times, playing that shyt, dieing, reaching in my pocket and only having 50 cent like "Noooooooooooooooo"

Then ya random patna is like :bustback: *quickly reaches in pocket and hands you money* :bustback:

:lawd:

and it was a must have to use the gun that cocked back...shyt made you feel like a gawd!


dis nig know. :ohlawd:

u had to be NICE to get someone to pass u a couple quarters. shyt was an unspoken sign of respect. like, "nah fam, i need u to help me mope these slugs. get back in this bytch!" :boss:

dudes hit that last level in double dragon? with the slidin walls?!? they'd come lookin for me.

"yo! somebody get block! yo block! just jump in so i can follow u past the wall without gettin hit. u aint even gotta play the whole level. u can jump in the spike pit after. i'll put ya quarters up."

then we'd murk machine gun kelly at the end and i'd whoop that ass. fukk yo high score nikka. try this second place on. :laff:

I almost threw hands with this white kid who kept doing M.Bison's Psycho Crusher all the gotdamned time... and won :birdman:

The worse scenes as a kid was Chuck E. Cheese (Showbiz for OG nikkas) or Little Caesar's Family Fun Pizzeria. You got all these kids there gassed up cuz it's they birthday, walkin around like all the shyt's theirs. My homie and I almost stomped some nikkas out for talking wreckless on Cruisin' USA :hmm:

I remember playing Street Fighter II for hours and putting quarters up on the dash to let people know I was next in line to play.
