We already covered the advent and subsequent decline of arcade gaming in a previous article. In that sense, we are well aware of the influence that some noteworthy titles had on the industry. Back in the 40’s, up until the late 60’s, the most famous games were almost always variations of the famous Pinball Machine, along with some other mechanical arcade games, such as Skee Ball.
It was thanks to a few cabinets such as Galaxy Game, Pong, and Astro Race, among others, that took the world by storm and showed it just how engaging electronic arcade gaming could be. These video games sparked a newfound interest in arcade gaming among both kids and adults, and created a phenomenon that would not lose momentum until somewhere around the mid 80’s, when console gaming started gaining fame.
