From Seattle to Atlanta, old school arcades are catching on with people who miss the touch and feel
VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:
THE GOLDEN AGE OF GAMING.. PRESERVED INSIDE THIS ATLANTA BAR....
WHERE DONKEY KONG AND MORTAL KOMBAT BATTLE FOR VIDEO GAME SUPREMACY AND YOUR QUARTERS.
SOUNDBITE (English) Brandon Ley (left), Co-owner, Joystick Game Bar:
There's a couple of games, people will literally walk up and just touch before they even approach the bar or go to get quarters or anything. They just need to touch it.
FROM THIS PINBALL ARCADE IN WASHINGTON, TO THE JOYSTICK BAR IN GEORGIA, OLD SCHOOL ARCADE GAMES ARE BEING BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE FOR LOVE - AND PROFIT.
SOUNDBITE (English) Johnny Martinez (right), Co-owner of Joystick Game Bar:
And it encourages people to interact with each other so it's not just a bar where you go and you stand around like some sort of meat market.
BUT WHERE DO THESE OLD GAMES COME FROM? MEET MICHAEL RICH.
HE STARTED RESTORING GAMES IN 2011 WHILE RECUPERATING FROM A CAR ACCIDENT. THE HOBBY TURNED INTO A CAREER.
SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Rich, Arcade game seller:
So pull over a control panel, pull the buttons out, start refurbishing it, take a PCB apart, pull all the chips out, clean them, put it back in, figure out what's wrong, re-solder the connections. Whatever I got to do.
THE GAMES GET THEIR OWN SECOND LIFE, GIVING PATRONS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PLAYING GAMES ALONE ON THEIR SMARTPHONES.
SOUNDBITE (English) Joshua Scott, bar patron:
You can read the text message or whatever, but it's not, you're not going to be next to the guy saying `Oh, how did you like that?' You can't talk to him as you're beating him.
AND THIS ARCADE GAMING REVIVAL ALLOWS THE NEXT GENERATION TO DISCOVER THE JOYS AND JOYSTICKS OF THE CLASSICS.

Old school arcade games catching on with people who miss the games of yesteryear
From Seattle to Atlanta, old school arcades are catching on with people who miss the touch and feel of the video games of yesteryear.
There's a couple of games, people will literally walk up and just touch before they even approach the bar or go to get quarters or anything. They just need to touch it, said Brandon Ley, co-owner of Joystick Game Bar in Atlanta.
The bar houses old arcade games, introducing a new generation to a collection of video game classics.
But where do they find these old games?
Michael Rich started restoring arcade games in 2011 while recuperating from a car accident, and the hobby soon turned into a career.
He now has a storage unit full of arcade games and spare parts, working to give these classic games a second life.
Pull over a control panel, pull the buttons out, start refurbishing it, take a PCB apart, pull all the chips out, clean them, put it back in, figure out what's wrong, re-solder the connections. Whatever I got to do, Rich said.
