Sound comes on at 1 minute (it was VERY noisy!). Hyperball by Williams. Shot pinballs like a machine gun and you had to hit letters, etc.
In 1982 in college camped in the back of my truck for 4 weeks of summer field camp at a campground. The place had one of these in the warm and dry building. By the time I left I had my initials filling up all of the high scores (5?).
Went back in 1991 and had to see if they still had the game. Yep! And I still had the top 3 high scores!

Don’t think Omega Race has been mentioned yet.
Star Wars was probably the most sophisticated of the vector graphics games. Plus it had the cool flight yoke type controls.
There was one where you were swung from vine to vine in the jungle. Blanking on the name.
Liked Xevius because you could play for a long time on a quarter.
Punch Out with the announcer calling the punches.

My only real exposure was when I had lunch, they had a few of those machines nearby and I would take 45min out of my hour long lunch...:)
Which is good. I thank God they didn’t have video games when I was a kid. I have no doubt I would have become addicted to them.

Asteroids, Missile Command and Galaga. I’d say Centipede too, but I think that was late 80s.
