Until arcades become holodecks, they are no longer popular.

No arcades around my place either. had one semi decent one that later sucked and deservedly went out of business. the one in the mall got closed down when they started redoing that section of the place. closest real arcade is unknown

only cool places are gameworks and dave and busters these days...though they seem more expensive as i still remember the quarter street fighter days. but you gotta love the clean eating/drinking bars they have now...back then peeps would just use any open space as an ashtray...
