Arcade tips for Chennai
A few things worth knowing before you work through Chennai's arcades:
- Save your high-score photo at Arvind Arcade. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.
- Weekday mornings are empty. If you want a machine to yourself for practice, weekday mornings are dead quiet.
- Learn one game deeply. Regulars pick a machine and master it. Chasing high scores on one game beats dabbling across twenty.
- Check the retro corner. The old cabinets in the back are often the best-maintained — they're somebody's pride and joy.
