Don’t forget lots of quarters for the video arcades! Man, I wasted so much money in those places!

...the video arcades!

The modern video arcade is VR Goggles and multiplayer first-person games. If you ever get curious, get a used Meta Quest 3 512Gb with BOBOVR head strap off of Facebook Marketplace. Get it configured (a PITA) and get the game Forefront. If I had that when I was 12-18 I would nave never left the house. Ever! VR game addiction for kids is a whole other really good discussion,

“Don’t forget lots of quarters for the video arcades!”

I was just telling my daughter about the one at the mall where I grew up. I tried to remember and explain my two favorites. The one where you have the submarine periscope and shoot torpedoes at the Jap and Nazi ships, and then the airplane one were you shoot down WWI biplanes IIRC.

Couldn’t find anything about the airplane one. This would have been around 1970.
