No Country for Old Arcades

January 24th, 2008 Seth Killian

Jared Rea of Gametap digs into the difficulties faced by US arcades by profiling a Bay Area landmark, Sunnyvale Golfland (SVGL). He looks back at SVGL’s legacy as a hotbed for testing new arcade games, talks to Street Fighter legend John Choi (an SVGL customer for over 15 years), and about how the location has withstood the challenges of a changing videogame landscape. Fun stuff–check it out here.
