It is well known that in the 1980s video arcade games were very popular. That time period is a part of an era known as The Golden Age of video arcade games. However, by the second half of the 1980's they were almost completely eradicated from the market; such sad results for arcades. This harsh yet unavoidable ending was caused by the always present progress in the field of technology. In the 1990's new generations of home video game consoles and home computers resulted in the significant reduction of the interest to arcade games.
Early consoles, such as the Mattel's Intellivision and the Atari 2600, were very general-purpose, they were built in order to give users the ability to play a variety of games. They often, however, could not measure up to video arcade game hardware, which was single-purpose and was built in order to run only a single game and to run it exceptionally well.
In fact, good home video game systems are the things which have always been lacking for the arcade game industry. In the 1980s the arcade market was filled with a lot of poor-quality home video game systems. This problem played an important role in the video game crash in the 1983.
