🏭 Multiple📅 1970

Arcades were the heartbeat of gaming culture from the 70s through the 90s. In the US and Europe, they were located in malls, boardwalks, and pizza places. Players mastered fighters like Street Fighter II and shooters like Raiden. The 'quarter economy' defined the social dynamics of play, where skill meant saving coins. Innovations like sit-down cabinets, surround sound, and linked racing simulators pushed technical boundaries.
