Ladies and Gentlemen, the Golden Age of Gaming is finally here! The recent trends and releases in the gaming industry has caused me to come out of my lair and voice out the excitement that this age brings. I hope to highlight some key topics in this genre that will indulge avid gamers and inspire newcomers into taking a deeper look.

The industry is booming once again, and gaming companies are jumping in to get a piece of the pie. This brings in good and bad industry decisions, but as we explore both the past and present, I hope to guide you in some of these developments. And hopefully into taking a closer look into both popular and not so popular games.

There was a centipede game and some other shooter as well. It was my first exposure to arcades and it left a lasting impression. As I got older, arcade machines seemed to popup in every corner of the earth, inside laundromats, deli, and movie theaters. There were even dedicated arcade places.
