    Only two games I ever play, except my son likes the full size Pod Racer game at the Mall. He can't drive it cause he is to short so I sit behind him and play.

    Also does Air Hockey Count? It's coin operated!

    PONG was good on the Atari, but I don't think it was so popular in the arcade.

    I rarely paid to play anything, my grandpa drilled a hole in a quarter and we ran some 12pnd tess fishing line through it. I had it tied to my belt loop and played on the same quarter for eons. :trophy:

    Pong was incredibly popular when it was released as an arcade game....being that it was one of the very first, if not the first arcade game....they placed the first prototype at the end of a local bar in California...a week after it was dropped off, the bartender called Atari and told him that the coin mech was messed up and was no longer accepting quarters...when the guy go t there to fix it he discovered that there were so many coins in the game that they backed up against coin mech and shorted it out
