Short History of Classic Arcade Games

Arcade games continue to evolve year after year with bigger and better graphics. But the earliest arcade games included amusement park midway games such as ball toss games and the coin-operated machines such as fortune tellers, which by the way are really nice in home game rooms. And let’s not forget the crane games, I believe those are the perfect addition to a home game room.

Basic coin-operated pinball machines were made during the 1930’s. But the earliest known operated version of coin operated games were set up by students at Stanford University in 1971.

And probably the most famous video game ever, Atari was formed in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. And basically Atari started the video game revolution. And 4 of the most popular games came about in the late 70s and early 80s like Space Invaders (1978), Galaxian (1979), Pac-Man (1980) and Donkey Kong (1981).
