The only decent arcades are dying out, fast. They go by this model where they have every classic game you can think of but they're all set to freeplay and you pay by the hour. They always have beat-em-ups and sometimes SNK/Capcom/Midway fighting games, but the one closest to me was literally kicked out of the mall so they could put in some other really gay clothing store, instead.
It was an awesome hangout spot, had a gamecube and N64 setup, nerd toy shit to buy and actual game cartridges you could buy. It's just not there anymore.
IT WASN'T EVEN DOING BAD BUSINESS, THEY WERE ASKED TO LEAVE BECAUSE THE PAJEETS WHO BOUGHT IT WANT TO TURN IT INTO SOMETHING REALLY GAY.
The only other place I can think of in my state is this place.

Actual great place to go but it's an entire shift of driving to get there.
Makes me wanna make an Under the Ring light gun shooter. No idea why but it does.
