I know this question has been asked- sort of- before, but I live up here in Central New York. Not exactly the best place by which to judge the arcade scene all across America.

Since Digital Press members are from all over the country...how is the scene where you are?

The comment about how arcade to home translations no longer really matter is really intriguing. Back in the days of ColecoVision vs. Atari 5200, it was THE question that mattered! It was also important in the NES days, the 16-Bit era, and even into the mid-1990s, if to a lesser degree.

Is it because the technical differences between home and arcade machines is no longer that significant? A lack of variety and innovation for all of these years? Or a sort of universal sameness?
