Greatest Arcade Memory?

[scarper]

Yeah, I just went to the official Gameworks website: Gameworks fell off the face of the earth in Michigan. R.I.P.

Aaah, that was it. It was definitely called Gameworks. I think 50% of their locations were forced to shut down at the time, and the one in the twin cities went down with it all.

Did Sega ever write you back?

Yes, but not always with relevant information. Like the time I wrote them about After Burner, they did not include a personal response, just the standard tip sheet for After Burner telling to press pause on the title screen 100 times, etc. But lots of times they would respond in writing.

I remember beating the Simpsons Arcade at a arcade/restaurant for my sisters bday party when I was about 14.

A lot of my friends and brothers had birthday parties at a local arcade and I have a lot of fond memories growing up playing various arcades with all my friends and family. The arcade is still around but 90% of the good games are gone and whats left are usually just crap no one wants to play and the machines aren't maintained at all. Breaks my heart

Also when I was about 12 my family went to Disney World. At the Epcot Center there was a massive Sega building. I was always a Nintendo fanboy growing up and I had no idea that Sega and arcades in general would have trouble in the future, so I didn't really get overly excited or spend a lot of time in the building. I went in and played a few games and it was really cool but there is so much to see in Disney World my family didn't really allow my brother and I to stay there for too long. I kind of regret not spending more time in there since it is a fond arcade memory of mine, but I guarantee if it was a Nintendo building my family would of had to call security to make my brother and I leave.
