I have to tell this story, it's priceless and it really shows a new generation picking up an interest in classic gaming. To give a little preface to this, I'm 17, a senior in high school and we had exams today. Me and 2 friends only had 1 exam to take, so we decided instead of hanging around at school we were gonna do something fun! Problem is none of us have a car, so we ended up on public transportation for almost an hour to go 10 minutes in a car and ended up at the local arcade, the only one that is filled to the brim with classic arcade games and pinball. Got there around 11 ish, and left around 3pm. Here is where the it gets great... We keep hitting the change machine round after round, and at one point, one of my 2 friends looks over at me and says "I can't buy lunch at school next week". I go what???? He says "yeah, I just put the last of my money for lunch next week in the change machine". And then it clicked, we are playing 80's arcAde games after school hanging out just like you all old farts used to do
I kid about the old fart part! But really these 2 friends don't own any games, and I dragged them to the arcade and one blew all his money for next weeks lunch! I see hope for the future!
