I’m talking about the big ones at Arcade places. I know they were big when I was a kid in the 80’s. While we had Atari, arcade places were popular. Nowadays, kids have games on their phones! Do you have a favorite game you liked to play? I liked Pac-Man. Pinball was fun as well. Do people still play these games even with the advent of consoles & phones?

Yes, I've done it a few times, but not for about 20 years now.

Oh yeah. Heck yeah. Donkey Kong. Played a lot of the Pinball machines. Played the original Pong back in the 70's.

My favorite game when I was young is Super Mario because it contains a lot of objectives and intelligence.

I absolutely love playing upright arcade games, and they're so much fun.
I used to go to an arcade where you could play all day for only five dollars. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, prices have gone up and it's no longer as affordable as it used to be.
I still think there's something special about playing arcade games. They have a certain charm that you just can't replicate on a modern gaming system. My personal favorite is probably frogger.

When I was a kid we used to go to a pizza shop that had a few genetic fighting arcade machines that were cheap to play. That was about it as we never had money to go to the single arcade in our area.

I have when I was younger, there were a few arcade cabinets I would always play at a local pizza joint. My favorite to play was Galaga, but I also liked to play Pac Man as well. There's a company called Arcade 1Up that's been releasing stand up cabinets, but I've heard their build quality isn't that great. They are sold at Walmart and are only a few hundred dollars which legit arcade cabinets usually run for thousands of dollars.

It is suggested to use Bluestacks or Smart Ga Ga as the phone is intended to make calls and communicate with the world and then you could instead of play on PC play on your phone instead. Letting phone for things more important like a security app or authentication app for example use of Microsoft Authenticator for the security of your Microsoft Edge or Authenticator. Games on mobile could be played on PC nowadays.

Since the days I been to Aladdin's Castle, I played lots of them. To start my arcade day, I play Galaga first.
