2 min


If you’re an adult and you’re still into arcade and games then you need to know that you’re not alone. It’s possible that some people don’t understand you, especially those who were not born in the 80s or 90s. If you grew up before game consoles were invented, then the only way for you to enjoy games during those times is to go to an arcade. And during those years, every quarter is important because you need it to play Pac-Man or Galaga. The arcade is indeed a happy place for people who grew up in the 80s. These are the same people who patronize arcades today.

But they are not the only ones who are into arcade and games. There are a lot of young people today who are going to arcades. It makes you wonder what makes these places popular? The meaning of arcades to kids today is different from its meaning to those who grew up in the 80s and 90s. Then, going to arcades is the only way to play games. But now that we live in this day and age of Playstations and XBoxes, kids still go to arcades. But why is that? It is apparent that kids today go to these places for another reason.

Arcades nowadays are not just about games. They are places where people can socialize. This is why you often see groups of friends and even whole families playing in arcades together. Playing arcade and games is a way to pass the time, just like watching a movie. You can even go on a date in an arcade. It’s a fun place where a couple can relax and have fun. Most arcades can also serve as venues for parties. They have special rooms that you can book in advance for your special events. The establishment can also take care of the food. Then your guests can play all the games you want for a certain number of hours or you’ll be given pre-loaded cards.

Arcades will always be popular to the older generation. It’s their way to reminisce about the good times in their lives. But of course, arcades have come a long way since the 80s and the 90s. Now, games are more immersive. They provide a gaming experience that kids back then can only dream of. Now there are even virtual reality or VR games that really put you into the game. Now instead of coins, reloadable cards are used by most arcades. You can also now see bigger prizes in many arcades. And this has attracted gamers of all ages.

Some people say that arcade and games are a waste of time. But there really is real value to these places. Playing games is a good way to get rid of stress. After a tough day at work, you can go to an arcade to unwind for a bit. Some arcade games can also help you to keep your body in shape and your mind sharp and in tip-top-shape.
