Investing In An Arcade Is A Profitable Business
Tons of people enjoy arcade gaming, but not everyone can afford to buy it for themselves.
But if you are thinking of investing in it and doing a business out of it, then you are thinking in the right direction! It will be fun to have a meetup with all the crazy arcade geeks under one single roof and play against each other. 
Not just that, it will be fun to introduce people to arcade games who don't know about them. And for those who have previously cherished this, won't it be fun to reunite them with their one true love? 
But starting a physical play station for arcade games is a whole different game. The process is undoubtedly very overwhelming, and it will make you rethink your decisions. 
But we got your back! As this blog progresses, we aim to educate you about the ins and outs of the arcades business.

How To Plan For Your Arcade Gaming Den
What is the foremost thing that comes to mind while planning for any business?
It is the budget. 
Don't rush the process; get into it thoughtfully.
Your expenses will change significantly based on the type of arcade business you start. A conventional arcade machine game center might be able to function in a small area if its expenditures are kept under $250,000. Costs could reach $1 million for a larger entertainment complex like Dave and Buster's.
The game itself is usually the biggest part of an arcade's startup cost. Costing from $6,000 to $9,000, even a modest selection of 20 games eats up almost half of that low-end $250k budget. 
You will also need to lease a space, and that cost will vary depending on your location and the size of your arcade games console. A rough estimate for a space between 3,000 and 5,000 square feet would be in the range of $1,200-$2,800 per month.
The computers and cash registers, renovating and decorating the space, and licensing fees will take up your remaining budget. 
You'll also need to pay the staff that you employ around the arcade machine games console. Moreover, if you serve food or beverages, you will also have additional costs for vending machines and supplies in your arcade machine games center.
These investments are the costs you will bear while starting your arcade machine games business. But these are not everything that will cost you. There are certain ongoing expenses. Let's have a look at them.
Rent and machine maintenance are the main recurring costs. Utility costs may be more than you anticipate because electronic equipment runs continuously throughout the day. For instance, the smallest site of a popular arcade chain costs $15,000 a month in utilities. Monthly costs also cover things like paying personnel and keeping the place clean.
There might not be enough storage for all the consoles you buy to store. Maintaining a rotation of machines would necessitate a storage area for unused machines, although this is uncommon for small arcades and wouldn't be a problem at the beginning of your business.
After indulging in these, you need to know your target audience.
Know Your Target Audience 
Depending on the type of arcade gaming machine you manage, you may have a different preferred clientele. 
Families and kids both frequent traditional arcades; for families, arcade gaming may be a way to strengthen relationships, and for youngsters, it's the perfect place to spend money on fun when there aren't many other possibilities. 
Meanwhile, "barcades" cater to hipsters who enjoy playing vintage pinball while drinking artisan beer.
Last but not least, arcade/restaurant combos like Dave and Buster's draw a mix of patrons, including families and business people eager to unwind after work.
How To Choose Your Video Arcades Console?
When it comes to buying video arcade machines, you have a few choices.
You have the option of investing in brand-new equipment
Purchasing old arcade machines
Hunting down vintage arcade machines from the 1980s or 1990s 
Classic arcade machines have become popular to capitalize on people's nostalgia. However, you should be aware of all the work involved in maintaining older machines, including where to find parts and technicians who are experienced in fixing them. If working on these devices and bringing them back to life is your passion, join the community of enthusiasts.
Winding Up 
To guarantee your success, you must have the appropriate mixture of classic games. The three main categories of classic arcade games are video games, racing games, and pinball, each of which has numerous options to choose from. 
Creative Arcades has a huge collection of all the arcade gaming machines that you wish to put up in your Gaming Zone. These arcades just attract a crowd for themselves and have proved their success in the past.

actually sonic being an iphone user is unrealistic because a tech genius like tails would never let his brother have such a shitty phone

" I needed to blow off some steam; played this older racing arcade game that apparently has poor handling controls- which, frankly-really wasn't that difficult; all you really need to do is manage shifting between gears at the appropriate time-"
"Anyway-she seemed very impressed by it. Gave me a prize for my efforts as well..."

stranger thing’s biggest tragedy is that it takes place before dance dance revolution was made. every modern au should have the party lamenting over the fact max has the top score in “butterfly” expert mode. in general my favorite thing about modern aus is just thinking about stuff like mike writing crappy creepypasta and erica running a my little pony tumblr page. this is my kind of nostalgia bait

Endlessly tickled by the idea of Akira being a good shot but a shit gamer. I like to think its cause hes got incredible hand eye coordination and super steady ‘surgeon’ hands; hes very good with precise movements, but panics when he has to do brain melting inputs. His brain can keep up but its hard to make his hands follow suit. Its why u can have him be dogshit at arcade cabinets; panicking with the little joystick and button mashing like mad, while having him be a beast at things like darts and billiards.
The only arcade games he can play is house of the dead-esque shooting games (hes literally at the top of the leaderboards for MILES and he draws crowds whenever he plays) and DDR cabinets (hes just very light on his feet)(NOT to be confused with stepmania; he would die if he had to do arrow inputs with his HAND). Its kinda fun to watch him fumble with the other silly gimmick cabinets, but its more entertaining to watch him do what hes good at. If u take him to play darts, and if the darts are super cheap, he will absolutely try his best to split them down the middle each time. Doesnt always work, but its insane to know that he lands the bullseye literally 100% of the time.
#chattin#akira#i just think. having him play games like how my uncle plays games is a silly visual#hes also Tall#so hes like as tall as the fucking machine and shaking it like crazy. hes dying. help him.#but hes never like. hmm#i guess self conscious about looking silly? it doesnt even occur to him bc hes so focused on smashing inputs#so ryuji can take him to the arcade all the time and never get a sore loser for a teammate or rival#on the flipside. he is so good w knives its scary#and like. anything sharp. and anything thats a projectile tbh#if u took him to do archery i think he would love it.#but for now hes got Baseball and Darts. and hes good at Both.#i know royal has him playing darts or something w goro??#i think its cute. also funny. goro would lose miserably and get so fucking tight. like alright. im not taking u here anymore.#akira opts to just watch bc he didnt think he was going to hang out w a sore loser#and goro HAS to challenge that. obviously.#like *clenched fist* ‘no. i insist. were here for a. good time. friendly competition is. healthy.’#*clenches jaw so tightly u can hear it pop* ‘another round? ‘#thinking about it; turnbased rpgs would be perfect for him. hes very bad at action games and fighting games#so playing games that dont demand that from u would be nice for him.#rhythm games would be easy too; the focus isnt on the hands but the beat#he doesnt have to THINK about hand inputs#MAYBE racing games would work too? but high speed racing games like burnout would be too much for him i think#and depending on the TYPE of shooter; fps games would be bad; third person shooters even more so

Sex while high sounds fun until I remember that I only get really silly when I'm high so it'd just be gay sex but I'm giggling about it the entire time and making very crass jokes about it
