[QUOTE="Nemmay, post: 5317623, member: 359127"] It's a shame these places are only potentially economically viable in what many would deem as areas saturated with "hipsters." It's good PR to advertise that it's geared towards the older crowd who enjoyed the social bonding experience of the arcades of old, but lets get real here.. The people bringing in the most money to these businesses are going to be those of a younger generation with too much time and money that deem it "cool" to do something that most do not. Don't get me wrong, I'd spend all day at an arcade like this if given the opportunity; I just felt like stating the obvious to anyone who's business savvy, since no one seems to have brought it up for discussion. We expect a full report. That goes for you as well. PS: If they allow footage, try to get some; I'd love to get a detailed view of their operation. Sadly, the closest I have for an option for an arcade in my neck of the woods is a poorly ran and extremely dirty Gattiland which is essentially a huge Gatti's Pizza with videogames. Used to be a great place when I was a kid, but with my last visit as a chaperone for my younger brother (he was nine at the time), they had removed most of the arcade cabinets.. They didn't even have a single pinball machine, it was a horrifying experience. They basically had a ton of machines designed to get people to "gamble" for a chance to win an expensive product in the case, an indoor hover/bumpercart thing with an incredibly small arena, one air hockey table with little annoying brats cheating, and a bunch of ran down skeeball machines, which most of them were out of order. They didn't even have any light-gun cabinets, it was an awful experience, and even my kid brother hated it. My brother is a kid who appreciates gaming going all the way back to the Atari 2600 era, since most of his early exposure to video games was from when I was living at home and I had collected a ton of consoles and games over the years. His first console of his own was a Sega Genesis, with Kid Chameleon. [/QUOTE]

:
if they get permission from 4j (the studio who helped put minecraft on consoles), they could put the console edition tutorial worlds in the game, as seeds
and i mean all of them (if not, maybe a few highlights, like TU1, TU31, and TU69)
