I definitely understand where you're coming from. When I was a kid arcades were like a thing of LEGEND for me. Since we lived in a really small town there was no arcade, not even like a '2 cabinets at the local bowling alley' type deal in my town or even in any of the next towns over in any direction. Once in, like, a blue moon we would go on a trip to a bigger city for like whatever reason (not even a big city like Boston, just a bigger one than where we lived) and I was always amazed at the arcades they'd have in the malls there (we didn't even have a mall in my town or anywhere within like an hour and half drive). Even though we were also pretty poor and I didn't even get to play many (or sometimes ANY) games when we went on trips like this, I still thought arcades were awesome.
