This guy could operate a museum. Maybe "should" is better.
I remember even ten years ago, "barcades" would have things like an N64 setup with Mario Kart be the most popular thing in there.
These days retro-gaming/computing seems more popular than ever, to the point where it has adopted that title as short hand.
I play very casually at best (I've got 20x more poetry books than video games), but this is great. I'd love to see more of this.
- linuxftw 6y agoGaming used to be a social and causal thing. The polar opposite of mainstream gaming today. Before the lockdowns, playing modern board games at local breweries was fast becoming a thing. I highly recommend it.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoMy partner was head of operations for a small chain of board game cafes(/bars) in Toronto (Snakes and Lattes*). We have a few kicking around, but I just can't get quite as into it. Once in a while, though. edit: Forgot they're in Arizona and Chicago, too. They started with one location on Bloor in Toronto and grew quickly. There's definitely a market for it.
