You'd have to be blind to not notice the rise of user generated content popping up in games, especially seeing the indie games make it to the big consoles. I just got this idea during a discussion about how arcades nowadays are just DDR dumps with nothing worthwhile, where everything classic is just perpetually uncared for and in a state of disrepair.

So what if there were an arcade that featured Indie-made arcade games? This is actually a throwback to the V-Cade, this old online arcade that used to be around, where all of the games were made with The Games Factory, Multimedia Fusion, etc, and it was all games that plain people made.

Some details would need to be hammered out, like how to standardize the joystick layouts, credit amounts, etc, but in the end, it'd just be a bunch of arcade cabinets that featured games that regular people made. Wouldn't this be pretty neat to see?

I would go there if the games where good!

And yes, it sounds like a great idea!

I dunno, a look at the XBLA Indie section gives you a good idea of the ratio of good:bad to expect from most indie projects.

Arcades in general have a rough business model, lots of feelings might be hurt. =\
