So, do my old games I purchased (Pacman, Time Pilot, etc.) work in here? And what's the point anyway? Do other people come in and play in my arcade? Does it cost them 25 cents to play?
How soon before all these old people who have never played a video game in their life are dead and buried so that we as a society can move on and stop having these fogies and their "in my day, we played with ourselves, and we loved it!!" arguments?

The problem is not with parents not paying attention to their kids. Most parents do. In fact, with the huge popularity of videogames, I think it's safe to say the vast majority of parents do all the things that they are supposed to, or else we'd all be fat.
The problem here is that there are way too many factors involved in the causes of increased childhood obesity levels. You can blame lack of afterschool programs, the value menus at fast food joints, etc, as much as video games.
Dont blame "Parents" for being the problem here. It's more like a combination of many different factors that is the cause of SOME KIDS being out of shape. The same way you blame parents for being the cause is the same method of reasoning that led to this campaign.
It was violent like a looney toons cartoon, and the only thing I saw that was gory was a quick disappearing of his arm flesh. Weird creatures are not "gore."
If you want to tease us with something that is true to the history of Splatterhouse, you add some nastiness to it. That may have well been Power Rangers: Lotsa Flying Blood
Fact: After seeing a rough cut of the film, Burt Reynolds regretted making it and fired his agent for recommending the role to him. Reynolds ended up winning a Golden Globe and being nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.
