Luckily, places like Dave & Busters and Round 1 still cultivate that type of scene; making instant friends in the throes of battle, teaming up with some guy you just met to beat that damn Kung Fu Panda punching game.

And you ruined my day by bringing up TMNT, Java. When I was around 6 or 7, I went with my parents and older brother on a church retreat to the mountains relatively close to our home. We went to an arcade for part of one of the days we were there and I made it to Shredder on a single quarter (I was in the freaking ZONE). Halfway through the final epic battle, my dad grabbed me and pulled me away from the machine, forcing me to watch as my stationary turtle took a pummeling and died along with my hopes of becoming an arcade legend. I still haven’t fully forgiven him for that one.

The only hologram game I can think of is Time Traveler, which I have never seen in person or played.

I never played it, nor ever saw someone do, and now I just have a vague memory of seeing it at a few places and not knowing what it was…
