I can remember the days when I was about 8 years old having to beg my sister for another 20p to have one more go, and when I didn't have any more money left, I just used to stand there watching other people play, obviously this was way before consoles or home computers, and the technology seemed almost like magic at the time (especially to an eight year old).
Well i used to do exactly the same in from 1988 to 1996 probably , even tho i had the atari , nintendo , super nintendo , gameboy and the playstation all within a year of the launch ... it was just not the same , i still prefer to play a good round of MK2 in one of the few arcades that are left ( hours from my home sadly ) than play the last fighting game in my Computer or console , its just another experience .
