The audio issues should be resolved with this one. Let me know if it’s still too quiet.

I despair for the state of the arcade today. Back in my day (let me stoop and shake a little bit) arcades were wondrous places full of darkness pierced by bright lights from cabinets and screens with accompaniement by 8-bit melodies set on permanent shuffle. I’d love to see them return, but those games can be played on a dozen handheld devices now. Future arcades are going to have to offer something new, something that’s a step towards a holodeck from Star Trek TNG.
