ohhh, yes, I went to a travelling one that would spring up like spirt halloween, one at a summer camp, bowling alleys, pizza shops, on the boardwalk, chuck e cheese. the cheapest one was at an arcade; it had four colored steering wheels it was a monster truck racing in 3rd person. that awful game ate my coins while my friends went to play the more expensive flashier systems, but I almost always had friends watching me play on the last machine because I saved my coins killing time on that race car game, It was intoxicating having people cheer.
I recall when I first started playing at arcades I had to justify every coin to my parents; their judgement on whether I could play a machine by the description I gave. Too excited I would be told to sit down, mature themes get less coins than I asked for, getting lots of coins parents joined me on the floor. In hindsight it was a good idea; I checked in every few minutes they could sit and chat. The modern card swipe losses the going to the loan officer feeling.
