San Fransisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2012 -- Arcade games have been with us since the 1920s. In those days the entertainment was limited to shooting galleries and ball toss games. These gave way to coin-operated pinball machines in the 1930s and by 1971 students at Stanford University had devised the first coin-operated video game.
Coin-operated entertainment machines started to spring up in restaurants, bars and amusement arcades all over the United States in the late 1970s and Space Invaders became the first blockbuster arcade video game. Technology has advanced in leaps and bounds since then and new games are continually coming to the market as manufacturers compete for a share of the gaming market.
