RE: Favorite games of all time
arcades were the shit dude. I used to go to the malls for no other reason. They aren't fully dead yet, but there are very few left in existence.

Its sadly not the same. Or at least where I am it is not the same. Everything is new wannabe arcade games.
i went to a pinball museum in New York once and it was pretty amazing. There are a couple of arcades somewhere. I think there is a singular Aladdin's Castle out there somewhere and all they have is classic games that still operate on quarters. I went to a Dave and Busters recently and the "new age" arcade games don't impress me.
Sadly most of them are gone here. I ended up going to comic book warehouse and it had a few old pinball games but no longer functioning.
i knew a guy that was a pinball machine repairman. He later went on to become a full-fledged robotics engineer but i wonder if that sort of profession even exists anymore? Probably not.
