What in the world is Mission Craft and why does it have Kerrigan's face?

Light gun games because that is what I always play when I get there.

Or some of those japanese arcade games where there is a seat with a neat set up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAbcjKELdCg

Concession stand: Yes or no? Also, how do we keep the blacks & chollos out of our arcade so they won't ruin all the machines & use the place as a drug drop off point.

A shit ton of lightgun games and a row for NeoGeo cabinets.

As many rhythm games as I could fit in there, especially the relatively popular Japanese ones people here would otherwise never get to play, but also DJ Hero 1&2 with all the DLC (all with dedicated headphone jacks)
A couple of recent time crisis setups,
a Golden gun or two,
outrun,
That water skiing game
Gunslinger Stratos

Metal Slug or one of those neo geo machines that just had like 4 different games on it including metal slug

6 Slow Neo Geo machines exist, but they're fairly uncommon. One would hold all 6 metal slug games; MS, MS2, MSX, MS3, MS4, MS5

I've only seen one ONCE, & when I came by to make an offer they said they sold it to mexican scrappers. It's probably in a landfiill right now.

After Burner Climax because I never got a chance to play it. Also since arcades are dead and this is my fantasy I'd have a bar on one side and a gun store on the other because you can't have fun without beer, guns, and video games.

I was there just last night. They finally fixed the Progear monitor, and their Robotron monitor was getting blurry but that's fixed too. They do make a point to maintain the machines.

The key is to go late night and on a weekday. Mornings are probably dead too but I think that's the time frame when they try to do their tournament things, when they run them.

Have a nice lounge area with a hot snack bar, and some coffee tables with TVs people can hook their laptops or consoles into, and an endless supply of wet naps, hand sanitizer, paper towel and chopsticks.

Everyone goes through a rigorous vetting process. No one gets in if no one knows them. They sign a contract and a waiver. If they pass the hand selection process and can pay the membership fee, they get a card. I don't really care about race, but one (1) actual crime and you're out. Tamper with the machines and we cannot guarantee your safety.

>>378708082

>>378708136
Arcades are alive in Japan because of the culture. Salarymen and the like would visit after work, and even today gaming at home is discouraged.

It would hold regular tournaments for various games, including TCGs, fighting tournies, and other competitions. Not only that, but it will serve alcohol and work on a card system and membership. "X amount of hours for Y amount of cash" options also available.
It will have old games and new games, with the least popular of them being phased out after a year. Also laser tag with the reward being free credits for games for the winners (exclusive to cardholders so it goes directly to their account), with the MVP winning additional credits.
Credits can also be used for discounts on food and drink if one has enough.

>>378710038
This. Freeplay cards hella beat out hourly or even by token play. If I were to host an arcade, I'd definitely just charge someone like $20 or $30 at the door, let them play all day, and maybe give them a lanyard or something else.

>>378709620
>>378709656
Well you still have to buy modern games at least, but anything you'd find at an arcade is easily emulatable so basically for free besides paying for your internet and electricity.

>>378710257
>Well you still have to buy modern games at least

They barely make new arcade machines. Street fighter 5 didn't even bother with one. I think there's a Tekken 7 machine though. no idea what non fighting game machines they're still releasing.

>>378710162
Even if you're charging them like $5 per hour, they're going to vanish after 2-3 hours at the longest. Even if it's something like Round 1, they're not going to stay all day, even if money isn't a barrier. When it definitely becomes a barrier, they're going to gauge their exit time and you might just get $15 tops after charging them whatever rate you want. And if you charge too much, they aren't going to stick around period.

Yeah but who cares about fighting games anyway? I really don't understand them at all, they just seem arbitrarily hard and complicated, I wouldn't pay money to play one in public when trying to learn the game and everyone available to play it with is somehow already a complete expert at the damn game.

It just seems fucking weird, even before I had the internet it seemed a lot easier to just stay home and play the games I owned, and bought for a small amount at the used game store, and are actually made to be played across multiple sessions with features like saving your game instead of having to pay money every time you fail.

We wouldn't collect unnecessary data or release anything. It's really just for billing/notifying of new shit. I know how people feel about signing up for shit, but this is a niche service, and we're aiming for repeat/subscription members, not walk-ins.
Costco, despite having insane deals, isn't ever too crowded, but remains profitable and pleasant to visit. Requiring a membership may have something to do with that.

>>378710810
Yeah that's where it was. They had more old games than new ones

>>378710160
If you charge $5 per person, and assume you get like 10 customers per day 30 days a month you're already making $1,500. And you're probably going to get more than 10 customers a day, and then add in the profits of having an overpriced concession stand.

okay, like, just imagine, a world without home computers. where even the most rudimentary pc costs a ridiculous amount of money and has next to no functionality. whoooaaa. can you even imagine it? a world where video games are such an expensive investment that only a commercial business can afford them. that's how arcades work. normal people aren't going to pay $15k for an arcade cabinet that plays exactly one game. instead you get a business owner to invest in stocking his arcade, where people can go to play games affordably. is any of this making sense to you?

I mean an Atari 2600 played multiple games and cost $200 in 1977

>>378711870
They were mostly garbage compared to the games that were in arcades at the time.

>>378711720

I want to do that once I get a computer that isn't garbage.

>>378712025

I'm going to agree & say most atari games sucked. There's like three 2600 games I would still play today.

given we are talking about building our won arcades, maybe this will be of interest for you:

>>378711870
adjusted for inflation that's the equivalent of almost $800 in 2017.

would you pay $800 to play games on atari? i wouldn't and most people wouldn't either.

especially when there were better games available that could be played with literal pocket change

I guess they're just a product of their time, and seem weird today, don't see really what would make them appealing in a modern environment other than pure nostalgia.

I mean especially as a kid, having to first get, then carry around a ton of quarters just seems inconvenient and go to be bad at the video games so you can't even get anywhere in the game before having to put more money in to keep going, and have to sink a few dollars before you're good enough to have fun at playing it.

>>378712127

Does this account for niggers coming into your arcade at random & breaking things/putting out cigarettes on the machines?

The peripherals add a lot of appeal. Steering wheel & pedals, ride-on motorcycles, instruments and step-pads, joysticks, light guns, etc. That's probably their main advantage over modern home gaming.

Not to mention stuff like hoops and air hockey. There were redemption games as well offering prizes for tickets you'd earn and so kids would get fixated on those rewards. A lot of redemption games are basically like gambling and the same psychology applies.

From a parent's perspective it was a good kind of... babysitter / time waster when they were out with their kids. Give them $5-10 and send them off to the arcade while you do your thing.

The cost-per-play model gave players incentive to do their best at the game. Getting to the end of a game used to be an achievement, and the reward was being allowed to continue the story to its conclusion.

Paying for continues was also a great way to get people hooked and keep pumping quarters into the machines because otherwise your progress would be lost and you'd have to start from the beginning next time.

I mean, I really don't have a reason to leave the house beside classes, work and grocery shopping. I go over to peoples houses, hell I drove about 450 miles round trip to go visit my friends last weekend, but in the modern day, going out to pay money for video games, not even like a waterpark or roller coasters or anything, just play video games, seems about as pointless and useless as going to a bar, when it's much cheaper to just buy my own liquor and bartending supplies so I can invite my friends over for the weekend after spending $30 per bottle of liquor instead of $30 per shot at the bar.

im sure the shit should be moddable so you can add your games, this thing is a frontend after all.

it would be retarderd from the devs to eliminate something like that.

>>378713557
Meh. Right now I'm back home so there is literally nothing to do because all my friends live four hours away since I met them all while I was in college and we live on opposite ends of the state.

I mean what the fuck do people do in town other than eat and maybe see movies or something. Going to an arcade seems like a waste of money, though significantly less of a waste than going to a bar.

I'm sure the point of the peripherals being fun is valid at least. But whatever.

I'd make a bar/restaurant with tabletop mame machines for each booth. And a couple of stand up pinball machines and a 2 player lightgun game. I'd go for an 80's neon aesthetic. What idiot would make a dedicated arcade in the current year?

You're gonna make it anon. Just do the exact opposite of what this video tells you to do. Start by cleaning your room. Then you can focus on what basass arcade you want to visit.

That would be the hypest shit.

>>378703490
My dream arcade would have multiple floors and section.

I would have a basement/underground floor that would have the classics such as pong, donkey kong, pac-man etc.

The next floors would be separated into sections, would have a fighter section, beat em up section, light gun section, driving/gundam/simulators section, a section for top down and side scrolling shooters and a small section for rhythm games, would probably have an area with the newest games.

Yeah I could see that, I did enjoy Hydrothunder at Wal-Mart as a kid until they got rid of it.

I still am no good at basketball so hoops are as frustrating as those games that are really fucking hard and take like five dollars worth of quarters. I did really like air hockey in the rare occasion I had someone to play with and skeeball is super fun.

My parents never really needed any sort of baby sitting shit because my mother was super agoraphobic. So I guess that explains why I find merely leaving the house strange in most occasions and have only been struggling to find justification to get out after moving out of my parent's house and realizing that I should probably do more than just go to work, class, shitpost and sleep. Because reasons I guess? That's what normal people do?

Where would you even get cheap arcades in this day & age? Wouldn't you have to visit Commiefornia to do it? Doesn't seem worth it.

>>378714542

What actually makes fighting games different even? They all just kind of seem autistic and the same, and I don't understand how they got so popular.

No really. It seems like other than the music and the visuals the only difference is whatever arbitrarily complex string of inputs you need to memorize to play the game well

>>378703490
I wish this place wasn't an hour away or else I'd be there all the time.

>>378703490
Aside from the obvious retro, fighting, and lightgun games, I'd have a fucking ton of new japanese games.

Gundam VS, Dissidia, whatever else Japan has.

>>378714724
Theres no such thing as cheap arcades now. We used to have nickel nickel but now its all about Dave and Busters and Round 1, which are both quite expensive.

Also reminds me, I would totally put in that new Dissidia Final Fantasy game in my arcade, along with Pokken Tournament, and one of those Gundam EX Burst or whatever games in there as well. What was that one Gundam game with the cockput that actually moved around and stuff?

What fighting games are even good for beginners? Why does every single game rely on shit like quarter and half circles? Like memorizing button combos is fine, but those damn circle actions are just super finicky and hard to get the game to actually register what you want to do.

>>378717694
>What fighting games are even good for beginners?

Good question. If only there were a magic box you could type questions into for answers. I guess we'll never know.

>>378718008

Dude I don't give a fuck. If you wanted to play fighting games you would have by now.

>>378717694
Try Smash (4) and Pokken Tournament. Although /v/ hates on Smash, I consider it a fighting game, albeit a unique one and Pokken is simplified much like Smash and has an easy to grasp RPS system in the game.
It's also super fun and I'm hoping it gets a Switch port.

>>378713453

If it will emulate in mame, you can play it in nran

A lot of stuff was added in the paid version, but you can't exactly sell a game with other peoples games inside it. not like there isn't rom sites for that purpose.

either >>378713453 is lazy and doesn't want to put in the work to make their own arcade or they are simply too cheap.

Cock holes in the cabinets, players can volunteer to suck people's cocks for free play tokens.

Neat, I go to that arcade every now and then. It's honestly not as bad as anons make it out to be. It's easily worth the $15 entrance fee. I remember they added a Metal Gear Arcade machine last time i went which was pretty neat.
