Surprising to see so many adults in arcade

The first thing that strikes me is the vast panel of pinball machines. After all those were what Arcade had before video games.

Don't be too shocked. There were plenty of arcades where you had adults between their 20s and 40s playing these. It depended where in the area exactly, but there plenty of spots in Michigan where adults were at arcades during the 90s and 2000s. It still an amazing sight to be hold, and the fashion sense of the early decade.

I wish that was me. I was only one year old in 1990. I did not play Final Fight until the summer of 1994. Though yes, it was destiny in a way. Though my first brawler was Streets of Rage 1.

I figured, but the opportunity was too much to resist.
