VR gaming is slowly creeping closer. Although GC, PS2, X-Box, and GBA are steadily getting closer, our arcades could be shrinking, due to online gaming. Although they will never die out totaly, until all the games in the arcade can be played on a computer, perhaps VR gaming can revitalise these old machines. One example is Crazy Taxi. On the arcade machines, it soon moved to DC, so less people are playing this fab game at the arcades. I hope VR gaming comes soon, as after all, the arcades were the first places where we could get our hands on games. Thans for reading.

New technology in Arcades?
Remember 5 years ago when arcades were 2D, 20p, games.
Then, NEW TECHNOLOGY! 3D!
Within a year, price goes up to a pound a go.
Expect £5 a time virtual reality in the arcades soon!

We had VR already, and it was pants.
Technology could imrove the situation, but as handheld sales go up, people won't be put in the position of paying for the arcade or play nothing so much, so sales will fall further.
Still, no doubt they'll always be around, there will always be mugs willing to pay up for a short and not too sweet spell on a dodgy game (sadly, myself included).
