>> Is it just me, or are arcade games making a comeback of sorts?
It's you. The heyday for arcades was in the early 1980s. Every corner drug store had a game or two. Every bowling alley had a room full of games. The local ice cream shop had a few table-top games, as did the local movie theater. They were everywhere. Sometimes we'd decide where to go based on which games were where. Going to a big arcade was a thing too, but today they are the only place left that has these tihngs.
BTW, this whole thing reminds me that I won big at Dave & Busters recently and I need to go back and see if that's reproducible. Big ticket prize seemed easy to get once I played with the right goal in mind.
