God damn liberal-infected unions, I tell you.
Post your favourite arcade games. DO NOT POST PAC-MAN, I’M NOT IN THE MOOD.
DO NOT POST ANY YELLOW-FACED EMOJIS EITHER. THEY’RE BASICALLY PACMEN AS WELL.

if Pengo is so good, why isn’t there a Pengo battle royal?
Arcade games are the original P2W microtransaction games none of them are good
I upvoted you but I totally disagree, arcade games are great, you just need to get into the dip switch controls and turn on free play when the manager isn’t looking.
Microtransaction games aren’t bad only because of the literal financial cost of the microtransactions themselves, they’re also bad because the presence of the microtransactions informs the design of the game itself. Arcade games are designed to eat quarters and waste time, so even if you’re playing them pirated on an emulator they’re still designed around that exploitative gameplay loop.
Yeah, a lot of them are not very fun outside the context of an arcade. As a social experience of playing minigames as you stroll past them, it’s its own thing, and fighting games obviously have survived by having way more depth to them that make them worth playing as more than a minigame despite individual matches being so quick.
Arcade machines also used to be much more powerful than home consoles, so flashy graphics used to be a big draw. Not so much now, they’re mostly just about the gimmick controllers outside of Japan.
As I said to the other person who made the same reply several hours ago,

DLC culture led to micro transactional culture in the video game industry. I hate to be this guy but at the age of 30 there was a time in my youth when you got a full game for the price you paid. Now while yes you can compare micro transactions to standing in front of an arcade with quarters. But my problem is the industry stopped putting an effort into making a good game with a great story for the sake of making an online experience to sell kids micro transactions.
DDR. Yeah, I was one of those kids.
I always watch the people are good at it in awe because even though I like dancing that shit is hard
