Did Arcades ever operate 24 hours a day?
If so, do you think they cycled the machines? Those games must have led a hard life...to be played by kids and adults who were rough on the cabinets etc.. But I am wondering if any video arcades were open round the clock. I reckon the games would only operate a year or 2 before the CRTs got weak from constant use if so..
I remember a few cases where old arcades were run til the games were totally burnt up...Games from the likes of Midway and Sega in the 90s...a lot of those developed poor focus or a tinted grayscale but were still in use.
