Now this is not me just being nosey. The reason I want to know what other arcade websites you visit is to add some more websites to our blogroll. Why would I want to do this you ask? At the end of the day I want more people to become aware that there is still a big following when it comes to arcades and I want to link to these sites to help the overall arcade coverage (maybe it won’t work, but no one can say we didn’t try).
Now you may also think; why would I want to advertise other “competing” websites. Well the way I look at is we aren’t competing, it’s all for the greater good. Just look at Arcade Heroes and Arcade Renaissance. I have never looked at Renaissance and though of it as competition, we borrow stories of each other all the time (but at the same time we cover very different things on occasions). and it’s a great way for new people discover our websites.
Now you may think that I know every arcade related website out there but the likelihood is; I don’t. The Internet is a big place you know.
Just use the comments below for your great arcade website tips.
Insomnia.ac – not doing as much arcade stuff as they used to, but still good for the odd location test.
insertcredit.com – can turn up the occasional arcade news
shmups.com – this forum is usually first with anything related to shooters
shoryuken.com – good for reading up on all the SF2 HD Remix and SF4 news.
http://www.killercabs.com – forum for arcade machine collecting.
http://www.ukresistance.co.uk – forgot this one. Tends to cover arcade stuff a fair bit. But mostly it’s just hilarious.
http://www.kobayan.jp great japanese arcade website
I also visit highwaygames.com
Molloy covered a few of mine. Add to that:
http://www.arcade-renaissance.com/ – Arcade news
http://www.the-magicbox.com/ – General gaming news, covering arcade stuff too. The last of the “big” sites that haven’t turned stupid.
http://www.neo-arcadia.com/ – Excellent French arcade news site
http://www.aussiearcade.com.au/ – Australian arcade collecting forum I frequent and post the occasional news tidbit to (typically stolen from all of the above sites). I’m an Aussie, so it’s good for local community gatherings and whatnot too.
http://www.GamesFree247.com – Less junk to sort through to find the quality games. It doesn’t have that many games, but it values quality over quantity
I also like to go to http://www.playnesflashgames.com for classic arcade and Nintendo games. Man there are so many great arcade game sites on the internet though!
