Who here plays games at an arcade?

One thing that really blew was that the Putt-Putt near me had wonky ass diagonals in their Strikers 1945 machine. When the stick was pushed in a diag direction, the ship would only move either horizontally or vertically. This meant I had to rapidly tap R-U-R-U which was a tad aggravating. Apparently the sticks had some 4-way gatelock that needed removing.
