Ed of GAMElitist.com - "It doesn’t matter how many coins you insert now: arcade gaming is dead. Peripherals and flat screen TVs have brought the IMAX gaming experience directly into our front room. There’s no need to go scouting for games; Steam, Xbox Live and PSN beam all the latest releases straight to our hard drives."
Truth of the matter though, only pussies ever continued on arcade games. A real man used to expire the continue count to 0 and start again. :D
