Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Insert a (What’s an arcade center?) JK here
With the current state of gaming it’s almost a miracle there’s arcade centers open anywhere as gaming has became as common as flies on a dead rat with all mobile games available on phone that would had been a massive coins drainage 30 years ago

Also, at least around me, a lot more arcade machines in bars and barcades for the generation(s) that had arcades.
For reference Im 27 and got into arcades more as an adult than a kid
if i was bezos ballin id open an underground arcade and make it free. dark and dingy with neon lights everywhere. Host tournaments for all the classics and sit in a big chair like an Outworld emperor.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
This is awesome. I wish we had an arcade doing that, that was that clean over here in the States.
I'm going to give this place a visit, I like the idea of being able to play all day for just a tenner. It's a bit of a trek to get there but I think it would be worth it.
I wouldn't mind opening a place like that myself, there's barely any arcades around and the way they've set it up sounds like it could be sustainable. I miss going round to my local arcade and playing against everyone on SF, used to be a great way to spend your time.
I might have to check this place out. Sounds like the old arcades i played in.
