I recall the crowd phenomenon was revived again briefly with fighting games before the arcades disappeared.

It was. That was during my teenage years when Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat drew in the crowds. Ah, the days of saving your spot in line by putting your quarter up against the bottom of the monitor glass. Back when you had to put something up to prove your worth more than the effort it takes to push the START button.
