So far as I know, just up until this past (2006) Spring, there is still quite a nice "real" arcade just a few miles up the road from me. My son and his date, and the whole crew, went there for a couple hours before their Senior Prom, and he brought home some cool video footage of the place. They not only have all the "classic" arcade games (ie: skeetball, air-hockey tables, pinball machines.. you name it) but they also have a quadruple sized DDR floor as well. He video'd his date and his friend's date DDR'ing in their formal gowns, they looked soooo sweet!!!!! Well, in a "I'm a Mom" sorta way! < =D
So, at least here in my little Southern Maryland, USA, part of the world, the true arcade is still alive and kicking,.. and thriving!!
