That’s a pretty big arcade. There were maybe a couple dozen in my go-to, if that.
I wonder if that’s where the generational thing comes from. I definitely sunk a lot of money in machines where I never got that far. Of the assortment I had access to in arcades I saw the end of story mode in maybe a handful. I was quite proud of 1cc-ing Double Dragon once. Otherwise it was considered to be a waste of money to dump money in continues. You’d play the first two stages of Metal Slug a million times and never see past them and everybody thought that was just how gaming was supposed to work.

There are at least 200 games at my local arcade. Few people beat them—and no one bats an eye at this fact.
I don’t see why PC games should be any different.
Is my intent to beat each game or is it just to have fun?
