How these gamers found their tribe in Singapore's arcades

When was the last time you visited an arcade? For some arcade enthusiasts, it's become their "second home" where they build friendships and a community through gaming.
Two of the most popular games are Maimai - where players hit circles in sync with the visuals and music - and Pump It Up, where players step on arrows that move towards the top of the screen.
Ronald Santoso, Hor Zheng Jie and Amos Lim met while playing Pump It Up and have been friends ever since.
Daniel Ling and Tang Wai Jing were brought together by their shared love for Maimai.
'Our bond has grown beyond gaming – we celebrate milestones together, hang out outside of the arcade, and support each other in life. Connections like these are truly special,' said Zheng Jie.
