Thread: How much time did you spend in the arcade as a child?

its a shame arcades are dying, when i was a kid we spend all our allowances and time at the arcades, even now i'm planing on building my own mame cabinet to relieve the good times i passed playing street fighter 2 and cadilacs and dinosaurs =P

My grandfather used to take to the center of the town where the best arcades used to be and bought me a lot of credits for my card, so i could expend 2 or 3 Hours there

There was days where i spent 80 to 100 $ in quarters as a kid in arcade... I am a gaming freak for old school arcade games.. MAME etc

Very little, the only time I went in arcades was on holidays. I used to have plenty of fun at home on my Sega megadrive .

i go almost 4days a week since im at uni

Wow! Old School! I was no that much into it as others especially my sister. I was running around the streets causing havoc with the time of 9-5 before mom and dad came home and caught me hanging with a bad element. My sister was the one who spent time at the arcade playing ms pacman and donkey kong. It got so bad she snaked a jar of quarters from my dad stash! Ha!

When i was young i didn't know what is arcade :P So none :P

Not much time. I used to love KoF 95! Played it alot in my vacations.

This is a good thread, i would like to discuss about this.
I have always played with nintendo while i was a child, mostly Batman and King Kong. NES games were also favorable, but nintendo; i used to play more than four hours a day !
