the emergance of Arcade games in the 1980s and 1990s symbolize the lifestyle of these decades. Americans began to want to do more than sit around and work, and they adopted the lifestyle of wanting to live a little. Arcades became the place where everyone wanted to go to have fun with their lives and forget about what else was going on, like war activities and outside threats from others.
ReplyDeleteArcade games were activities that people could do with their friends, and I think the existence of arcade games led to the acceptance of gaming in the world today. Nowadays, we have casual gaming that is derived from the early days of arcade gaming, and the gaming hobby has now evolved into a competitive activity for many, as seen in streaming, eSports, etc.
