I'm trying to figure out and generalize the eras of arcades. Here's what I have so far. Any ideas?
1970s: All about pinball
1980s: All about simple, Atari-like games
1990s: All about fighting
2000s: All about interactivity and luck
2010s: All about making the home experience bigger
I might not be right here, but this is my best generalization so far. I think arcades today are weird because there's like...a giant connect 4, a giant pac-man, giant shooting games, giant guitar hero, giant ipod games, etc.
