We all know that it is a chore for the arcade industry to get some mainstream attention and one aspect of Stride’s “Save The Arcades” campaign has certainly made it a little easier for the word to spread around. While the focus I’ll be linking to here is on two of the arcades that are part of the current promotion, it’s still worth noting that these articles also cover the plight of you stand-alone arcade business as a whole. We all know of course that stand-alone arcades – those that focus just on games with little to no other attractions like redemption or food – are rare but they are out there of course and in the right places they can hold their own.
Here are the articles, thanks to Doc of Galloping Ghost for the first one and Kevin W. of The Stinger Report for the 2nd.
