Was it now just a place for birthday parties, devoid of the wonder? Yes, for a time. The profusion of gaming consoles into every home fundamentally challenged the arcade. Gaming consoles were so new that they weren’t household items, so the only place to play games was in an arcade. Kids could load their pockets with a few quarters and play their favorite machines until they ran out of luck (or money). The late eighties and early nineties marked the heyday of arcades. These were the staples of grade-school birthday parties and family get-togethers. Mini-golf, go-karts, pizza, and of course, a handful of tokens to spend on your favorite arcade games.
