My buddies and I used to play this game for hours. One time my friend kept beating this one kid, who kept putting quarter after quarter in trying to win. When he finally did, after probably $4 or $5, he laughed at my buddy and said "Ha! Now it's your turn to pay!"

My buddy just said "Nope, I'm done," and we walked away.

The tournament series will feature the following monumental titles from the past and present: Street Fighter X Tekken, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

These games were the death of arcades to me.

Every arcade started converting their floor space to these damned things and all creativity went out the door.

At first I thought this may have been an old thread, but it wasn't, so you aren't good at the Internet.
