Wellington Arcade
Down past Cannons Creek was an old strip-mall that was run-down before it was built.
It was here, between a bakery and dairy that I discovered the local arcade. A long room that glowed brighter than my school’s OHP. Screens columned the walls with games like Street Fighter and Mortal Combat. Back then we called them ‘Spacies', and for two minutes you could be a Kung-Fu legend. That room was a neon cathedral of glowing pixels with a chorus of beeps, pings, and the frantic drum of fingers tapping buttons. If you had the right sized coin you could play. I never had the right sized coin, but the big kids did. They played those buttons with the zeal of a concert pianist on crack.
Those glowing coffins are long gone—replaced by Nintendos and iPhone games with loot boxes. Small reminders of their arcade ancestors.
This T-shirt is a wearable memoir to those digital altars of 1990’s Wellington. Whether you played the game in the city or the suburbs. Or never played at all.
