Video game arcades were a part of everyday life for those who grew up in Hong Kong in the 1990s. After school, youngsters would sneak into town and hit up one of dozens of venues scattered throughout the city.
Most of the arcades are gone now, victims of a massive industry that convinced us to put consoles machines in our homes, before charging us hundreds of dollars for games we’d only play once.

But there’s something about a classic games arcade that can’t be replicated at home. The atmospheric neon-lit spaces, the sheer variety, the immediate thrills, the camaraderie of strangers and friends. And for those willing to snake their way across our city, they can still be found in Hong Kong.（source: SCMP, 2017)
