Comcast probably had 500+ calls in queue and were getting hammered on the issue by their customers. I am sure there was supervisor or manager in support that was driving them(Pirate Bay) to get this fixed and get the calls out of their queues.

We had no redemption in our arcades (till the very end in 2002, and we had 1 crane game), it was 1/4 fighting, 1/4 driving and the other 1/2 was random arcade shooters and what not. If you were familiar with the street fighter scene, we hosted the B4 and B5 tournaments.

My family was in the arcade business from the mid 70's till 2003. Our best times were the early 80's and the mid to late 90's your assumption that there were no good games after the late 80's is wrong.
