The market is flagging because cabinet manufacturers don't innovate. For the last decade (or more) I've kept wandering into arcades and being perplexed about why they offer <i>less</i> than what I can enjoy at home with an average-power computer, an ordinary game console, and a moderate-size TV. The only thing differen tin arcade is a heavy-duty controller, the games themselves are tame in the extreme.<p>I know it costs a fortune to develop a game. But why not install super-juiced PCs and ultra-high-res monitors or ultra-large screens, of the sort that I couldn't afford or fit at home? I remember playing a Sega R-360 which came out in <i>1990</i> : <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbmoF9Ehuk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbmoF9Ehuk</a><p>Good luck finding anything this cool in a US arcade nowadays. I would cheerfully pay $5 for a few minutes in one of these with an up-to-date space/flight game. I don't want a nostalgia trip playing some 30 year old console (well, OK, <i>sometimes</i>), what I want is a new experience that I can't have at home, but manufacturers don't seem interested in offering that.
