this, arcade games are densely packed 10 minutes of fun with a lot of bullshit difficulty stretching that out to suck quarters out of you

>10 minutes
Up to one hour, most commonly half.
>bullshit difficulty
Only if you play amerishit and pretend that's representative of actual good arcade games.
>stretching
Difficulty is content.

im referring to most fighting games like tekken and metal slug that start kicking my ass to elicit a quarter from my pocket
>Difficulty is content.
within reason i agree

You should improve at those games so you can save your quarters. Strive to beat them with just one.

Luckily in near my home we have an arcade. filled with machine that jam pack action such as flappy bird and crossy road. Costs only 50 cents per play
