So as one Imgur user pointed out, at one point during the arcade revolution of the 80’s, Bally released a spectator’s arcade cabinet for people watching the player and waiting for their turn.
I can confidently tell you, between the 80’s and 90’s, I must have spent a thousand dollars at arcades, easily (God bless allowance money) and never saw one of these. Which frankly, is a damn shame because they are a great idea and would have been way better then trying to stare over people’s shoulders while they swat at you.
Can someone make these (and arcades) a thing again please?
