Interesting theory. I recall going to a local video arcade in the mid to late 90s, and it being just as packed as the arcades of the 80s. I think the greatest fun then was not playing against strangers, but going to the aracde and being able to play a game like Daytona USA against 6 or 7 of your friends. Even today it would be hard to recreate a gaming experience like that at home.
