Love it when someone acts like I shot their dog out of a circus cannon because I didn't like Old And Expensive Game Internet Video Guy Said Was Important. I played it. I explained why (please stop calling every article a review. They're not). Others think differently. That's fine and normal. The end

When traveling, go visit local arcades! You never know what you’ll find. There wasn’t anything super rare or obscure here, but ended up playing two games I had never played yet on my recent trip to Vancouver, and it’s always nice to see the genre still out in the wild 🔫
