Why are all retro game collectors such game bros lol
I played an arcade cabinet at a friend's house, and I'm completely hooked. It's a 90s arcade game—every beat hits a nerve, and the difficulty is absurdly brutal. My wrist hurts so much I can't keep going.
But when it's right in front of you, it's incredibly tempting. They say emulating it doesn't feel the same as playing on real hardware... At this rate, I'm going to end up collecting retro game machines. The impulse-buy god has descended.
Anyone know where there's an arcade in Seoul?

Yeah, the board's feel is really different lol.
I also started with just one Super Famicom, and now I've ended up collecting Tekken limited editions... Be careful. But it's true that real hardware and emulators feel different. The button feel and input delay are different, I've noticed.
Well, that's a bit... Isn't the difference between original hardware and emulator exaggerated? It's subjective. I actually prefer playing on an OLED monitor—the dots are crisper and it looks better.
The impulse buying god has descended lol, but it's not easy to find an arcade in Seoul.
If it's Seoul, there's a Tekken arcade in Mullae-dong. But it's hard to find a coin slot. Or I've heard there are a few left in Ingye-dong, Suwon.
I remember playing Pirate Crew on a tabletop arcade machine back in the day... I wonder if it's still in the basement of Electronic Land? Seeing that thing really gets my heart racing.
Game bros don't collect games to play them in the first place; their hobby is just stacking them up lol. I used to be like that too. I have plenty of machines that I bought but never even turned on. If you buy that, you'll regret it later.
