The Video Arcade that Wasn't
A friend and I used to really enjoy playing pinball. We happened upon a group of stand up video machines in the late 1970’s as we were exiting our local mall through a Sears store. We noticed Atari’s video pinball which we thought was interesting. We played it a couple of time but we didn’t really enjoy it as much as a real pinball machine.
We did, however, notice other kids our age (mid-teens), gathered around some of the other machines.
