last time our arcade scene was blooming bro, aroun 95 to 97. Every single day we have really intensed matches of Xmen vs Street Fighter, Tekken 3, Marvel Super Heroes, KOF etc, at Holiday Planet, especially in Plaza Kotaraya and Sungei Wang Plaza. I still remember I had to wake up from my bed, just because somebody challenged me on Xmen vs Street Fighter, so we walked all the way, from the hostel to Plaza Kotaraya, trash talking along the way.

Before the match, eat Meggi telur at the lorongs of Petaling Street, where mouse are bigger than cats

Why it died out? Police raid. Constant police raid. And to add to that, some of the greedy people also place porn arcade machines, Fantasia to name a few and gambling machines. So instead of geting good clean fight among fellow arcade trekkers, we also have all sorts of public scum in arcades, which was a goldmine for police. People stopped going to arcade of fear of the raids, then the scene slowly dies..
