Back then, we paid up and complained about it to your friends or the person who had their coin on the table.

So I'm ~ probably older than you, and I've been in arcades since they were first a thing, and remember putting the quarters on the game console to the reserve the next game very well.

That video you're showing me is gameplay, but what I wanted to see is the specific microtransaction stuff, the purchasing stuff in the in-game arcade shop with real quarters.

That's what I was hoping to see, because I don't remember ever seeing any of that when I was in those arcades back then. Basically, make me a believer, because right now I'm kind of doubtful.

And I know it's not your specific job to convince me, I'm just hoping someone could show me actual proof of the store specifically, is all. I wasn't able to find it on my own, and I looked.

Thanks.
