I remember when you had to put in a coin just to play a game ...... jeez how times have changed.
For those that may not know I’ve been playing video games since 1979✌🏻

There was no better feeling as a kid than walking in an arcade with a pocket full of quarters. The best was going to the roller rink/arcade combo.
-
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Xmen consumed an astonishing amount of quarters in my youth
-
Pac Man and Ms., Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, Star Wars, and Double Dragon.

I loved Polebious, pretty good at it too, then it just disappeared like it was never there in the first place? :(
-
Even the band Journey had its own arcade video game. It wasn't very good but it had one.
-
I can still instantly recognize the sounds of a Pac-Man machine. Donkey Kong too.
-
Mortal Combat and NBA Jam ate my paper route checks for months!
-
Hahah, Yep I was there also. I remember being really young and throwing tons of quarters playing Double Dragon or SF2.
-
Try Space invaders lol dam I’m really showing my age lol
-
I remember when they moved one of the pinball machines out and replaced it with Space Invaders in the front of the local Wal-Mart. The next one was either Asteroids or Pole Position. Old guys unite...
-
Yep it was pretty much the same here in australia lol

No worries, I also played a version of space invades in the arcades when I was even younger. It was called Galga. We have the perspective on what little video games provided back then, but we had so much fun with little complaint. Now with how technology has advanced, games provide some much more that our minds back then couldn't even comprehend. For example, I not sure if you played the original Doom back in the 90's, but I remember my mind was blown when I first played it. Now imagine if you could time travel and show you younger self how the 2016 Doom looks like.
