Amusement in the last few decades isn’t always... modern school is the only waste of time.

The Atari then PlayStation put the end to these , you don’t see the kids even in the ones that are around today , my kids don’t go near them when we go to the movies . But now we have them in our homes I cannot get a go on my PlayStation when the kids are home

[@Dubsys]

kids don't go near them because the operators are predatory and fill the things with shitty ticket games and nothing people actually want to play

Wayne Dawson Arcades were booming at the end of the eighties. They only started dying off in the mid nineties.

[@asherouk7308]

Super Nintendo killed off the video arcade in the early 90s.

0:22 one of the best ever analog pinball machines ever made Aces High. Certainly the best Gottlieb In and for it's era the best player and even against some later stuff way better.

People dont leave there house these days thats why there is so much mental illness

[@lachlanlandreth9069]

If you are referring to video games causing mental illness, there isn't any proof of that. Yes there could be a link between people spending their time at home and mental illness, but it is also the way we are brought up. Less people hide their issues.

[@tomo8324]

people who leave there house also have the mental illness ever heard of stress causing by work?

[@JohnJohn-ts6ux]

Can somebody one tell me how much were those games per game the pinballs back then in the the mid 70s, I remember them as far as I know,I starting to play them $0.20 each game

[@Squashed8Ball]

$0.20c in the late seventies is what I remember as well.

[@MeesterTweester]

$1.00 in 1976 America is $4.41 in 2018. 20 cents then is 88 cents now.

[@prestonio]

Arcades are cooler

[@apeshit4banana]

Keeping them off the streets and out of school too! 😄😄

[@billykuan]

Now a pinball parlor would be putting them on the streets.
