Remember These? Arcades or Quarter Eaters (Money Nom-Nom)

I used to frequent video arcades when I was pretty young, up until my early teen years.  The first video game that I remember playing a lot of was Dragon's Lair.  It was one of those games that if I recall correct used to collect not one but two quarters from you, and like a lot of video games at that time it was a quarter eater, much like Frogger or Smash TV.  I loved arcades and frankly I kind of miss them now.  I know they still exist but console gaming has truly changed the landscape, for the better, though, I'm not too sure.

Do you have favorite memories of playing arcade games in actual arcades?  Sound off in the comment below.

  1. I was always into pinball machines. Hell, I went to Reno once and dropped more money in the pinball machine than the slots!
