Arcade games are as not as up to date, well detail in graphics and story but are still fun and are still here, in the 1900's was when arcade games were first created and from there they were have grown and expanded into such wonderous simulations games.
Arcade games today: arcade games today are mostly just simulations from car racing to first person shooter, arcade games are the only type of videogame media that can actually put you really close to the action, to something that seems really, arcade game make things seem more real then any over types of platforms, example; time crisis is a first person shooter game, this arcade game give you two pistols for two players and two metal pedals to take cover and puts you in a shoot out.
What draws them in: Above the arcade game is the title of the game presented very clear and noticeable for the public to see and to be attracted to, on the screen of the arcade shows you a demo of the game its self, it shows you what you could and acomplish, it shows you how to play with clear and simple instuctions and simple actions to follow. As well as all that there's loud pounding music to pull you in, to keep you intrested while you wait, to get you into the mood.
Profit: Some arcade games (in my opinion) are just tools to gain money quick and easy. people consistantly waste their money in order to get some sense of accomplishment out of it, when people play these particular arcade games they can't stand losing so they keep on wasting their money in order to win something to try and get something out of it and eventually when they win something they get this sense of accomplishment out of and they feel the need to play again and again in order to get something even more out of it.

limits: unfortunaly arcade games aren't as handheld and light as a game boy or PSP for the free roaming capability they provide, they are far to big and blucky, thankfully some of these arcade game can be bought and placed in your homes, there are even high tech racing simulations that can be bought. some of these arcade game can even be bought for the console such as; the time crisis series, metal slug and so on.
