Makes sense, in a way, as it's a fun diversion for people who aren't much into video games to begin with.

Dang it, I'm getting hooked just from watching those videos...

My experience with fishing in games has largely been limited to Fishing Minigames, although the one in Ocarina Of Time is pretty great.

So... there's been a bunch of 'fishing' games sitting in the local arcades for a while. I guess it might be more accurate to call them 'net gun games'. Here's an example
.
The thing is, the players are all mostly older folk whom I hadn't believed were into games until now- maids, blue collar workers, seniors and the like.
Anyone has more info on this stuff? I get more and more puzzled by it each time I pop into an arcade and see some middle aged people playing these things.
