Who remembers playing the stand up video game back in 83?
And I remember thinking Tron was hard to beat.

This was the only way to play. Loud AF, the SW theme blaring during the trench run in a smoky, darkly lit arcade room.
It had a sound system up there with Sinistar.
Video games may be prettier and gory but none rumbled your but like THESE babies

That was definitely the Cadillac of the options, alas the Ice Cream and Burgers spot I used to frequent only had the stand up version.

It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Sorry if I missed that in your OP.

One of the many . . . MANY things I miss about my 80's childhood. Wasting a day away at the arcade. Double Dragon, Operation Wolf, etc.

Mine too...actually called "burger shop". Star Wars was right next to "Dragons Lair".
A whole day?!? A roll of quarters would last me an hour, tops.

The arcade I frequented didn't utilize quarters, they used tokens. The day-care I attended would take us during the summer and give us one of those small styrofoam cups full of them. As a kid it felt like a "whole day" when in adult time it was merely several hours.A whole day?!? A roll of quarters would last me an hour, tops.

Well, to be fair, a roll of quarters would last an hour primarily because I sucked at video games. Except tecmo bowl(s).

My mother worked in the two local malls; she was a manager for a snack shop in each (owned by the same husband/wife team). In the summer I would go to work with her. I was 10, 11 or so. I would spend the morning in the arcade, the lunchtime be-bopping around the food court (we knew all the workers, so I'd get free food), the afternoon at the movie attached to the mall. $1.75, I think, for the matinee. When Star Wars came out I would sit through a couple screenings of it, back to back.
My kids now, ages 5-14, love Star Wars. We have all the movies on DVD, and they watch them all. The. Time. I love that we can share that.
