Rock and Roll!

I've posted about crane games several times, but arcades almost always have one of these drum machines, and one of the guitar machines you see behind it. And I frequently see someone hacking away at one of the two.

Timed reaction gaming has moved from DDR, to the instruments above, to touch-screen or button responses. There are some Kinect-style arcade games which are popular with middle/high school girls, but button-whacking is quite popular with the guys - and girls too. Maybe next time I'm in the arcade I can sneak a few shots.
