to long and you get tired out and bored.  Just not real enough to keep you
interested.  If only i was sittng in a car seat with a steering wheel with
monitor in front of me.  This way it would feel like you in the driver seat
of a indy car, and have the gears and the pedals.  Then it would feel real,
and i might try winning the 200 lap 500 mile race.

Write your reply.

assistant: You're forgetting two factors: 1) inflation (prices go up as it is), and 2)
the cost of developing the machines.  One reason why the Street Fighter
series has survived so long is because it's relatively inexpensive to tweak
an existing design.  Meanwhile, games like VF3 are expensive to develop and
to own, so arcade owners have to recoup their investment quickly.
 And all they are
  It depends on the game.  The Virtua Fighter series (especially the 1st)
seems to be tolerant of people who don't come to the arcade with $10 and
stacks of sheets on special moves and codes.
  Something that bugs me though is that few (if any) arcade fighting games
have difficulty levels.  Only MK3 ever had something like that.  It would
work - after all, how many gamers do you know would deliberately choose
"Easy" so they can rob the arcade of extra cash?
 What ever happened to the good
  Die Hard Arcade is a good example of that... and unlike the above games, it
has well-done cutscenes which segue seamlessly into the actual gameplay
(which isn't just fighting).
 All these Street
  Once again, it depends... Virtua On for example!  While it's almost like a
"battle robot" game like Mechwarrior 2, the characters are much more humanoid
and flexible.
