Im probably in the very very small minority of people who still love and go to arcades. Its such a great place to meet like minded nerds. We are lucky to have 2 really awesome ones in town, one of which has a lot of good old machines, and they repair them too. They have some new ones that are OK too.
Anyway, I dont like that they changed to the dumb card thing. I get it (efficiency, capitalism, it was bound to happen) but it removes another visceral experience in society that was so fun.
Anyway, my old man rant!
Ugh. That’s a bummer.
There’s an arcade bar in Dublin city and it’s called “Tokens”. Great place with a great name and it does use tokens. The putting in of the coins is a visceral part of the arcade experience.
Thats awesome! Id love to go there
Yeah arcade with a few pints is a winning mix tbh. They have a decent number of arcade machines and about 10 or so pinball machines. Good times!
