One of the things I've been planning on doing over the next year is working on a Wiki that helps gamers in the US find and locate active arcades/arcade games based on user submissions. Though there have been sites in the past that have tried to do this, most have been limited by infrequent updates and a difficult user submission process. I thought that the open nature of a Wiki would help solve that problem and perhaps offer a great resource for those wanting to find arcades in the US. Even though my Wiki idea is still a little ways off, another site has launched a new user-based online arcade game locater aptly called Arcade Finder. The site currently is being updated by individuals in charge of specific regions. Included in the listings is the ability to search by game, location, or even manufacturer. It's a little empty now, but it shows a lot of promise and should be a great bookmark for arcade fans. I've went ahead and added it to my link list, and will keep it bookmarked myself for future reference. Hopefully it will begin to be able to make some segue-ways where other similar sites have failed.
