I took a break from gamedev and I wrote a blog article on the nostalgia I have for arcade games: http://hemingwaygames.com/blog/connected-worlds. I was inspired by Christer Kaitila's Ludum Dare project which used the Connected Worlds theme to link his past by restoring an arcade machine.

I hope you enjoy the Sunday arvo read :-)

btw I'd love to hear your own arcade stories or how you respond to your nostalgia.
