Arkadni kabineti su samo mašine na kovanice programirane sa igrama. Jednom kada odgovarajući novčić padne u slot, mašina će vam omogućiti da igrate igru u skladu s tim. Bilo je to jednostavno, zbog čega su mnogi ljudi lako razumeli koncept arkadnih igara i voleli ga. Scena arkadnih igara započela je još krajem 1930-ih sa prvih nekoliko flipera na kovanice. Kako su decenije ubrzavale, igre su postajale sve bolje, a krajem 60-ih arkadne igre su postajale sve zabavnije. Tokom 70-ih tržište je postalo mnogo bolje sa igrama koje svi, čak i deca, mogu igrati kao Space Invaders i Pacman. Arkade su bile toliko popularne da su mnogi lanci ishrane počeli da dodaju arkadne mašine na kovanice u svoje restorane, poput Chuck E. Cheese’s-a i Dave-a-Buster-a. Sa 80-im godinama kada je otkrivena bolja tehnologija, igre su postajale sve bolje sa različitim načinima igre sa najzastupljenijim igrama sa kontrolom kretanja, gde možete igrati moto trkačke igre sa plastičnim motociklom kojim možete upravljati i upravljati motociklom na ekranu igre. Iako smo videli bolje načine igranja, arkadna scena polako je umirala jer su ljudi počeli da gube interesovanje za arkadne igre. Sa takmičarskim borbenim igrama upoznali smo se početkom 90-ih, kada je Capcom svetu predstavio Street Fighter 2. Kada je igra izašla, scena arkadnih igara je ponovo oživela!

* Arcade machines are just coin operated machines programmed with games to play. Once the appropriate coin is dropped in the slot, the machine will let you play the game accordingly. It was as simple as that, which is why many people easily understood the concept of arcade gaming and loved it. The arcade gaming scene started out as early as the late 1930s with the first few coin operated pinball machines. As the decades came rushing in, games became better and better, and by the late 60’s, arcade games started becoming more fun.During the 70’s, the market became a lot better with games that everyone, even kids, can play like Space Invaders and Pacman. The arcades were so popular that many food chains started adding in coin operated arcade machines in their restaurants, like Chuck E. Cheese’s and Dave and Busters.With the 80’s coming in with better technology being discovered, games became better with different ways to play, with the most prevalent being the motion controlled games where you can play motorcycle racing games with a plastic motorcycle that you can ride and control to control the motorcycle on the game screen. Although we’ve seen better ways to play, the arcade scene was slowly dying because people were starting to lose interest in arcade games.We were introduced to the competitive fighting games in the early 90’s era when Capcom introduced Street Fighter 2 to the world. When the game came out, the arcade gaming scene was revived and took all the people’s quarters again.
