December 3rd seems to be an important date for game history. In 1979, the Intellivision game console was launched; in 1994, the first Sony PlayStation launched. And on December 3rd 2006, this website launched! Ok, so we’re hardly in the same class as a game console launch, but today is the day that this website was launched by “Pointything” (whose real identity remains a secret) a mere 13 years ago. In that time, this site has worked to provide you information and opinion on the coin-operated arcade business, as the industry has recovered from it’s doldrums at the beginning of the century. As things are right now, the arcade business is as vibrant as it was in the mid-90s, and there’s always potential for more.
It wouldn’t be here if not for you the readers, so I wanted to offer up my heartfelt thanks to all of you – whether you just read the site regularly, read & comment, share tips, share opinions on what is written, etc. We’ll keep the work up, just as long as someone wants to read or watch. You can watch the latest stuff on YouTube, where we’re about to hit 7,300 subs (or there is Bitchute, which I’ve been doing just in case things go haywire over at YT with the big changes coming next week).
Game Of The Decade
It’s also a good opportunity to do something that we haven’t done in a while – a poll. With it being 2019, that means that a new decade is about to begin. 10 years ago, I polled the readers on what they considered to be the “Game of the Decade,” and now it’s time to find out what YOU think was the Game of the Decade to cover 2010-2019. Last time, the Raw Thrills & Specular Interactive
