I was born in the late 90s, so most of my childhood arcade memories involve poorly playing whatever DDR machine they had hooked up at our local cinema 😂
It’s been cool really discovering the appeal of arcade gaming as an adult through the handful of barcades they have here in Brisbane. It feels like it’s establishing itself as quite a small, but strong niche in entertainment, like vinyl collecting.
Oh this takes me back! I always visited the seaside arcade near my grandparents' place, it was the highlight of my vacation!
Agreed on the cultural differences when it comes to gaming! Growing up, learning English and getting into the gaming sphere, I realized that there were so many references that I just didn't get because I couldn't relate. It's wild how much the game culture can differ from country to country!

Yeah it can be really different! Whereabouts was that seaside if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind at all! It was near Izmir, Turkey, next to the Mediterranean Sea
