Arcade Game History Part 2

The popularity of arcade games began to loose its success in the mid to late 1990's, when CD based console gaming started to become popular.  This was definitely the case when 32-bit consoles and games arrived.

Because of improved capability in graphics, and the compact discs ability to carry a lot of data, developers were finally able to make good ports of their games to sell on consoles.  Developers saw that they could make a lot more money porting flawless or near flawless copies on their games to popular gaming consoles.  It is because of this, that gamers no longer felt they needed to spend money in the arcades to play the latest arcade game.  They could simply go to the store or mall and buy the full game for their console.

By the 21st century, console gaming surpassed arcade gaming in every way that mattered.  As a result , arcades have been on life support in some areas and dead in others.  Today, many video game developers are now making arcade games using modern PC hardware making sure the legacy lives on forever.  Please visit our web site to find out about our latest arcade cabinets and get what you'll really enjoy!
