Couple days ago. It wasn't open, though. I hope they're just renovating rather than shutting down, 'cause I don't think they'll turn that DJMax Technika machine over to one of the other arcades...
2 or 3 years ago, i remember being in the car with my brothers and sister just to go to the beach for a single day, those things are sporadic events that happens very rarely since dad usually doesnt let mum drive the car and its a "chore" for him to get up, yeah right...
remember sticking coins in a that "square-game" machine where you have tos top the squares to win somthing, but it was usually a scam, shame, id rather try that simpsons arcade beat-em-up machine, or the DDR machine or even that mario cart one over there. *points*
atleast i think it might have been a mario kart one, wish parents lets me walk about on my own...im almost 20!

Throughout the 90s. The larger cities of Nevada have them everywhere, from the small ones in Smiths grocers & the medium sized ones in roller skating rinks to the big ones that took up an entire floor of a hotel-casino.
I guess the last time was maybe 3 -7 years ago in a town not far from Seattle, WA, where there was a very large arcade in the local mall. Unfortunately it's one of those malls that no place stays in business for more than a few years, so now it's gone. The only place I know of now that has arcade games is a bar-&-diner in West Seattle.

If Dave & Buster's counts, then it was last summer in August. I went with my friend (whom I've had a massive thing for since I met her), and she proceeded to show me why I haven't had any interest in DDR; my utter lack of rhythm.
Well, just a few days ago i was at Flynn's arcade at Disneyland. Man that was fun. mostly played Donkey Kong and Dig-Dug.
Actually, today. I went laser tagging with some friends for a birthday, and there was an arcade inside the building. Although it was a rather crappy one, only about half the games were functioning, for some the screen was crazy unfocused for some reason, the variety of games was very limited, and some games flat-out didn't register your tokens. But hey, at least laser tag was fun.
I went over the winter break with my friends. Time Crisis and House of the Dead are not going to beat themselves 
Long enough ago that I can't remember just how long. If I had to guess, it would easily be long that 15 years.
It was last summer that I went to the Arcade. I only go there (I lived in a beach resort type of town so there are about four arcades here) when my cousins come over for a visit.
In the arcades there are about -
84% coin base/ gambling games (like dropping in 10p or 2p into a pile and hoping you tip the pile over to get more coins)
10% kiddie game were you get tickets for reward and getting enough of those will exchange it for toys etc
5% Actual games (3% shooting like House of the dead, Rambo and even a Terminator shooter and the 2% are others (Racing and Guitar Hero etc.)
1% Air Hockey (I love playing that game).
