I miss the old arcade I used to work in. I used to work in a Namco's Aladdin's Castle that was in the mall. It was great at the time. I would stay after closing and play all the games late into the night until the security guards made me leave. I really miss the social aspect of the arcade the most. People went there with the singular purpose to game. It was never hard to strike up a conversation about video games there. I find that sadly missing in my life now as I am the only true enthusiast in my circle of friends.
