Heh, the one that used to be here had a big sign at the door saying that no unsupervised kids were allowed in before 4.
Its probably why it closed, there wasn't anything in there that older gamers would leave thier house to play. All they had for the last year or so were those lame dancing things, an overpriced Star Wars Trilogy machine, Daytona 2 and a load of late-90s gun games. Either that or they lost whatever licence they needed to run the million or so slot machines they had in the unit next door.

Arcades seem to stay in business thesedays by having things that you can't replicate properly at home. Thats why most of them are full of the afformentioned dancing crap, big screen gun games and sit-down multiplayer racing cabs.
