Games that are labeled as "arcade-ish" usually have low learning curves, simple incentives, and the ability to entertain in a limited amount of time. For example, I remember playing a motorcycle racing sim computer game, and it had levels of difficulty, from "realistic" to "arcade". "Realistic" had a complex array of keys for controlling the rider's height, weight distribution, leaning, etc., while "arcade" had a greatly simplified scheme where the player just controlled the turning and speed. --<a href="/wiki/User:Poiuytman" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Poiuytman">Poiuyt Man</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Poiuytman" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:Poiuytman">talk</a>)<a href="/wiki/User:Poiuytman" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Poiuytman"></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-Poiuytman-2005-05-01T10:36:00.000Z-Arcade_as_a_game_genre" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:36, 1 May 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Poiuytman-2005-05-01T10:36:00.000Z-Arcade_as_a_game_genre"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Poiuytman-2005-05-01T10:36:00.000Z-Arcade_as_a_game_genre"></span></dd></dl> <p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Quality" data-mw-thread-id="h-Quality"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Quality"></span>Quality<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Quality"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Arcade_video_game&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Quality"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Something needs to be said about how... in terms of how "good" games were at the time, arcade games were famously better for a long time... you know, back when the best console you could buy was '8-bit' NES, etc.. arcade games looked as good as, if not better than, the later 16-bit SNES and Genesis games and so on. The whole thing about 'porting' games from arcade to console and how something was always lost since the consoles were somehow 'worse' (like couldn't handle voice clips). This aspect has always stuck in my mind partially because it's so confusing (how do you make an arcade game of a quality you can't make consoles of?) --<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:216.49.220.19&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:216.49.220.19 (page does not exist)">216.49.220.19</a> </p> <dl><dd>If you think it needs to be said (and I think its relavent), go ahead and add it. This is a <a href="/wiki/Wiki" title="Wiki">wiki</a>.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>To answer your question, arcade games were generally much better than their console (and/or home computer) ports because they used a great number of specialized chips and other specialized hardware. Many of their parts were manufactured <i>just for that game</i>. Video game consoles, on the other hand, used chips that were for rendering and playing a wide variety of games. They didn't have the specialized hardware the arcade games did. And many couldn't include a great deal of memory in order to keep the costs down (for example, voice clips require a lot of memory). Arcade games could afford the large amounts of memory (well, for an arcade game, voice clips and sound effects were usually contained in custom ROM chips, but the idea is similar) and specialized circuits because they were just trying to deliver one game, not a variety of them, and the total cost was transparent to the custumer, who only plunked down one (or two, three, four) quarters or tokens.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Also, when new arcade games were developed, they could use the "latest and greatest" hardware, because they were, more often than not, starting from scratch for the new game. Even if they weren't starting from the ground up, incorporating new hardware into an old system is do-able for arcade games. But once consoles (or home computers) were delivered, they were pretty much stuck with the state of the hardware when they came out.

ROMs are not distributed by the MAME team to the general public, and just as importantly the pretext that ROMs are available on the pretext that you must own the actual systems is (and always has been) bunk and would not stand up in court. I have also noticed that erroneous justifications on this pretext (or some variation of the apparently made-up "24 hours rule") are less common nowadays. If you have a real arcade machine, you may dump the ROMs yourself.

People quit going to arcades in large numbers in the latter half of the 1990s because they had many more media options available to them. Yes I know the WWW is not the Internet, that was an unfortunate typo. All aspects of the Internet affected arcade traffic and mall shopping in general. Shopping, gaming, chatting, looking at porn, etc. kept people at home. Home game consoles got more powerful, casinos proliferated, kids participated in sports (soccer) in larger numbers are all factors. When I can find the correct way to source this I will. I'm in the arcade business. I own, operate, and repair games for a living, and have been doing it for 20 years. I know whats going on. I talk to other operators, manufacturers, and distributors. My paragraph above " but the advent of the World Wide Web on the Internet coupled with the increasing power of home video game consoles caused a fragmentation of the entertainment industry. Arcades would never be the same again." was meant to express the fact that not just Internet gaming, but the Internet as a whole affected the industry. I added it in a place I though it belonged in the timeline. </p><p>Another thing. There in an inconsistancy in the article with respect to restaurant/arcades that I have been trying to fix but Wgunfu keeps undoing. Gatti's pizza didn't become a "fun center" until the late 1980s. Chuck E. Cheese started out as a "fun center", Gatti's started out as a pizza place. </p><p>"During the late 70's and 80's, chains such as Chuck E Cheese, Ground Round, Dave and Busters, and Gatti's Pizza combined the traditional restaurant and/or bar environment with arcades. [2]" </p><p>"To remain viable, arcades added other elements to compliment the video games such as redemption games, merchandisers, and food service. Referred to as "fun centers" or "family fun centers" [5], some of the longstanding chains such as Chuck E. Cheese and Gatti's Pizza ("GattiTowns")[6] also changed to this format. " </p><p>I'm not sure the correct way to rewrite this. The second paragraph would be correct if you removed Chuck E. Cheese since it already contained the elements of a "fun center". The first paragraph would be correct if you changed it to "late 70s and early 80s" and removed Gatti's pizza. </p><p>Somehow the article should be changed to make the point that in order to survive, arcades added the elements that Chuck E. Cheese was already using. </p><p>Just my two-cents. I guess I don't have the editing talents that some Wikipedia articles demand. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:24.247.215.55&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:24.247.215.55 (page does not exist)">24.247.215.55</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-24.247.215.55-2007-09-21T19:54:00.000Z-to_wgungfu" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-24.247.215.55-2007-09-21T19:54:00.000Z-to_wgungfu"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-24.247.215.55-2007-09-21T19:54:00.000Z-to_wgungfu"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="1st_coin-op_game?" data-mw-thread-id="h-1st_coin-op_game?-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z"><span id="1st_coin-op_game.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-1st_coin-op_game?-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z"></span>1st coin-op game?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-1st_coin-op_game?-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Arcade_video_game&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: 1st coin-op game?"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-76.191.180.171-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z-1st_coin-op_game?"></span>Didn't Heron of Alexandria created the first interactive coin-op game? <small>—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/76.191.180.171" title="Special:Contributions/76.191.180.171">76.191.180.171</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:76.191.180.171" title="User talk:76.191.180.171">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-76.191.180.171-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z-1st_coin-op_game?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)</a></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-76.191.180.171-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z-1st_coin-op_game?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-76.191.180.171-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z-1st_coin-op_game?"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Asher196-2008-04-26T04:05:00.000Z-76.191.180.171-2008-04-26T04:03:00.000Z"></span>If you consider paying for holy water a game.

This is evident through various revisions to the Gauntlet and Gauntlet II programs, with each revision causing enemy characters to become more powerful and numerous, and health-increasing items to appear less frequently. </p><p>There are a few ways for players to gain the upper-hand, but this typically prompts the game to respond by strengthening enemy A.I. behavior to create an even greater imbalance. For instance, a player can rarely find special potions that increase their character attributes - such as strength or defense - but when a player collects one of these potions, the game places a "thief" enemy somewhere in the level, which would chase down the player (the thief being multitudes faster than characters were permitted to be) and steal the potion. </p><p>Another example would be the Gradius series. The object of the game was to fly a ship through various parts of space, shooting down enemies in the ship's path. As the player ship collected power cells, the player could purchase various types of power-ups and weapons that would make it easier (or simply possible) to defeat certain obstacles in the game; however, if the player collects a lot of power-ups, then the game is prompted to place an enemy called an "option-stealer" behind the player ship. This enemy will home-in on the player's ship, grab the ship's power-ups, and then fly off screen with them. The game's levels were designed with a lot of heavy obstacles that are virtually impossible to surmount without these power-ups, and this would of course result in the player being continually defeated if she or he were unlucky enough to encounter this "option-stealer." </p><p>These sort of tactics were common with a number of arcade games. With home consoles imposing far less restrictions on how (or how long) a person could play, there probably wasn't much incentive to return to arcades and have your money practically stolen. I think this places some degree of blame on the arcade industry itself, as unscrupulous practices such as artificial game play challenges and rubber-banding difficulty probably created the demand for home consoles in the first place. </p><p>I'm probably not able to source this information well enough, so I'm just pitching the idea for anyone who thinks it might be worth including or expanding upon it. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/98.86.97.161" title="Special:Contributions/98.86.97.161">98.86.97.161</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:98.86.97.161&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:98.86.97.161 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-98.86.97.161-2012-08-31T00:09:00.000Z-Request_for_information:_Criticism_of_the_capital_nature_of_arcade_games" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-98.86.97.161-2012-08-31T00:09:00.000Z-Request_for_information:_Criticism_of_the_capital_nature_of_arcade_games"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-98.86.97.161-2012-08-31T00:09:00.000Z-Request_for_information:_Criticism_of_the_capital_nature_of_arcade_games"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Frecklefoot-2012-08-31T02:27:00.000Z-98.86.97.161-2012-08-31T00:09:00.000Z"></span>There's no big conspiracy here: arcade games are for making money.

So why would we not add Asteroids Deluxe numbers to the asteroids total? </p><p>I also would like to point out the values are not in order from greatest to least. In fact, some there are some titles that have no arcade cabinets sold at all, and are only on the list by revenue. Which does not make any sense, because that would not apply to "best selling" in terms of the actual units itself. Look at Starhorse for example. </p><p>I also see double standards of combining like games and not combining like games. Why do we have 3 versions of Street Fighter put together? <a href="/wiki/User:Chan-Murphy" title="User:Chan-Murphy">Chan-Murphy</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chan-Murphy" title="User talk:Chan-Murphy">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-Chan-Murphy-2014-02-15T01:45:00.000Z-Pac-man_clones?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:45, 15 February 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chan-Murphy-2014-02-15T01:45:00.000Z-Pac-man_clones?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chan-Murphy-2014-02-15T01:45:00.000Z-Pac-man_clones?"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Merger_proposal" data-mw-thread-id="h-Merger_proposal-2014-09-17T23:39:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Merger_proposal-2014-09-17T23:39:00.000Z"></span>Merger proposal<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Merger_proposal-2014-09-17T23:39:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Arcade_video_game&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Merger proposal"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kortoso-2014-09-17T23:39:00.000Z-Merger_proposal"></span>I propose that <a href="/wiki/Arcade_game" title="Arcade game">Arcade game</a> be merged into <a href="/wiki/Amusement_arcade" title="Amusement arcade">Amusement arcade</a>.

In your recent edits, you've deleted a lot of referenced material and I don't understand why. In particular, your edits have leave other material unreferenced -- now the article shows six or seven "reference undefined" errors. The easiest way to fix these is to revert your edits, but before doing so I wanted to know why you were removing the material;, and if you had a plan to address the referencing errors you've create on your own. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Mikeblas" title="User:Mikeblas">Mikeblas</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mikeblas" title="User talk:Mikeblas">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z-deleting_and_errors" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:49, 5 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z-deleting_and_errors"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z-deleting_and_errors"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Maestro2016-2021-03-05T19:04:00.000Z-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z"></span>Hi. Thanks for letting me know. For some reason, the citation errors weren't showing up for me yesterday, but showed up today. Anyway, I've now fixed the citation errors. I cut down the list because it was too long, with 120 games on the list. In contrast, <a href="/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games" title="List of best-selling video games">List of best-selling video games</a> only has 50 games on the list. The previous threshold, 1K units and $1M gross was way too low. 10K units and $10M gross is a more sensible threshold. <a href="/wiki/User:Maestro2016" title="User:Maestro2016">Maestro2016</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Maestro2016" title="User talk:Maestro2016">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arcade_video_game#c-Maestro2016-2021-03-05T19:04:00.000Z-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Maestro2016-2021-03-05T19:04:00.000Z-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Maestro2016-2021-03-05T19:04:00.000Z-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T18:49:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mikeblas-2021-03-05T19:06:00.000Z-Maestro2016-2021-03-05T19:04:00.000Z"></span>Thanks for the explanation!
