    When you see great arcade centers like this. it brings back the best and worst memories of our youth. Let's be honest here, it's not just the happy experiences we had with our parents and friends while playing our favorite games. Sometimes we also witness the meanest and brutal fist fights inside those facilities. The nostalgia is why I sometimes tear up when I get to see clips like this. Sadly these can no longer sustain the funds needed to operate. It's not a lucrative business anymore.

    Japan also has Tower Records. I know that Japanese ppl treat things with great care, but they also have a strong attachment to culture and a strong sense of preservation. The idea that everything can be reformed makes the culture of a country frivolous. This is extremely important.

    Japan's arcade looks clean. Way too clean, even. Not better or worse, just is.
