All of these early games weren't long time commitments like today's games. I'd play with one of my sisters or with a friend for an hour at most. 

That's great. Arcades were a lot of fun to go to - something special and an experience you couldn't get at home. I keep trying to think if I played any pinball tables back then but I can't remember any. I had to have though, because arcades were still full of pinball machines. 

Whaaaaat?! I'm going to have to look those up. 

I have a vivid memory of exactly where I played that game for the first time. Really unique game when it came out. 

I just gazed at my box of DQXII today and wished it fit into my game plan right now. I will get to it, I swear. 

I just saw PIllars of Eternity on sale on Xbox the other day and almost got it. I will eventually. 

I may be playing some Silent Hill at Halloween. I've got SH2 and 3 ready to go on my Xbox and I just redownloaded the first game on my PS3, which is where I first experienced the series. 

I really miss Game Room on Xbox 360, that virtual arcade space with tons of Atari and Konami arcade games as well as home console games from Atari and Intellivision. I want another one of those virtual spaces on all consoles. 

I'm picking up Borderlands 3 but Gears of War 5 is coming to Game Pass day-one. I'll probably be playing a lot Borderlands though because that's what my friend will be playing. Gears will have to wait. I'll install it though. 

Right now I'm juggling Metro 2033 and Uncharted 3. I'm also setting up my PS3 alongside my PS4. I'm playing games that take under 8 hours to finish the campaign across as many systems as I can. It's still too much to handle, really. 

Yeah, I was just looking up the top ten selling arcade games on usgamer.net to see what they might put out next. Here's the list:

1. Pac-Man
2. Space Invaders
3. Street Fighter II/Championship Edition
4. Ms. Pac-Man
5. NBA Jam
6. Defender
7. Asteroids
8. Mortal Kombat II
9. Mortal Kombat
10. Donkey Kong

I want a Xevious cabinet and a dozen others not on this list. 

Waaaa! Or rather, thanks for that because I shouldn't be spending anything right now. 

I've always had games I wanted across all systems. That's why I wanted them all. I still don't have a Switch though, for money reasons, but I want one for stuff like that golf/rpg I forget the name of and the upcoming Etrian Odyssey and Fire Emblem and. . . it goes on and on. 

Great! These ornaments by Hallmark look fantastic, as good as amiibos. I look forward to your article. 

I didn't know they were still releasing more. I'll have to keep an eye on it for more cabinets.
