As the virtual entertainment is brought to new levels by the technological advances and constant developments in the world of gaming, let’s take a look back at the legacy of the craft.
The 1920s are the years when the first arcade games appeared. They were seen in the amusement parks, such as Coney Island in New York. The earliest forms of the pastime were shooting galleries and ball-toss games. Some time later they progressed to include coin-op machines, which played a mechanical music, or gave a fortune reading.
The first pinball machine was created in the 1930s. It worked on a set of springs and magnets. They were replaced by the electric pinball machines in the early 1970s.
First incarnation of the electronic coin-op game was invented in 1971 by students of American university. Not long time after, the Atari was established. Thanks to it, the video arcade games were brought to cinemas, bars, and shopping centers all over the US and UK. The popular arcade games of those times that became legends are Donkey Kong, Pacman, and Space Invaders.
