    I don’t think you understand what I mean by “arcade games”. These were analog games. There were old ones made of wood, one i remember specifically was a pinball/baseball game where instead of flippers you had a bat. Sea Devil was a more recent one that showed images by what I believe were photo slides (like in a slide projector). https://youtu.be/DqS9pbOR7Gg?si=5rSwlmg9ym6CB7XT this was high tech for the times. Search “vintage arcade games” on YouTube and you’ll see what I grew up on. Fortunately a lot of them were a nickle or dime to play.
    Here’s another I remember https://youtu.be/6U9_mWikMuY?si=FiCZMxZAtlsWqG1x

      I’m 50 and I remember these. But I think in those days we were a bit behind the rest of the world. (ZA)
