What? The sims?
NO NO NO.
Anything I needed to know, I learned from the Simpsons. I mean common, they're a spitting representation of the average american family!
Well, you got places like Pladium which of course costs a fortune and has contracts with specific vendors. And then you got a bunch of dinky arcade hangouts in the heart of downtown. That's it.
When I grew up there was the local pizza place with some arcade boxes and the local convenience store etc. Now there is none of that. Why would kids drop in coins when they can play way better games on way better TVs at home. It is also depressing when the average game is now $1 or more. It used to be 25c!
And if the kiddies wanna spend loads of cash just go to Sega City or Pladium which are way more than an arcade anyways.

Sad but true, the arcade days are numbered.
