While Los Angeles is
set to lose one of its last remaining mall arcades, there has been a resurgence in arcade games in New York City.
Gaming news site Kotaku spoke with arcade cabinet fabricator Mark Kleback about the flourishing indie multiplayer scene that has developed in the US city of New York.
Cecilia D'Anastasio for Kotaku reports:
“Mark Kleback knows that, when gamers think of arcades, they think of ‘80s nostalgia titles like Pac-man and Q*bert.
“He’s been there. From his Brooklyn workshop, Kleback told Kotaku that he still fondly remembers hours spent railing on his local roller rink’s X-Men cabinet.
“His vision for the future of arcades is different.
“Kleback hand-builds arcade cabinets for New York’s flourishing indie multiplayer scene and is working toward carving out a space for indie arcades in New York City.”
