People get bored of arcades. Everyone that I've known that collects machines or that builds emulation setups stop playing. It's more about the setup and maintaining a collection than the games themselves. I've got a basement full of modded Arcade1ups that look awesome but collect dust. But what I do play, is a growing collection of pinball. When I go to Past Times arcade, which has 500+ pinball machines and something close to that in arcades, the arcade side is pretty empty. Pinball is where it's at if you want to run an arcade. The retro arcade machines are set dressing to either a really good bar or pinball parlor. Pinball is growing again, and new machines are always coming out. You can only play tmnt so many times.
