Getting 20$ to waste on an arcade is one of the best feelings ever.
Nowadays there are very few arcade centers in the mainland USA it seems. However in PR there is at least one huge Time-Out in each major mall or movie theater, where the arcade lives on. They are so popular they must have policies denying dentrance to minors during school hours =P.
Everywhere else, there are a bazillion cabs for SNK games.... I don't think SNK is shipping any new machines down there but Neo Geo stuff can be had for super cheap.
According to Enemy Ace it seems this happens in Brazil as well....it shows how much game studios could actually sell if they actually localize games and decrease the cost.
Myself, I was too old to really get in on it, I was not at the level of the Street Fighter and later KOF and Tekken players down there. I remember there were always big crowds around those machines.
