Indeed, very interesting.

I wish I would have had the opportunity to grown up in Arcade culture. Sadly, there were some obstacles. First, I was grown up in the former GDR, we only had the "Polyplay" which may be one of the rarest Arcade Machines now on this planet by the way. ^^
Second, even in (West) Germany, ridiculus Laws killed the entire Arcade Culture there and are still present. There are no Arcade Halls in Germany which makes me very sad. And there is no chance that there are ever such Things here, so be happy if you were able to grown up in a Country that allowed this. I would open an big Arcade Hall if I would have the money and if I could, including an entire Retro Area inside and a secret door behind the Tron Arcade Cabinet of course!
