stephh Happy Bonze Reged: 07/23/06 Posts: 371 Send PM Who said 0.50$ a credit was expensive ? 02/20/12 10:51 PM Reply If this hasn't been always the case, let's assume that 1.00$ = 5 Francs ... Here are the price I remember in France (in Nice and Paris) for most video games (the evolution was different for the pinball machines) : . from 1980 (and perhaps before) to 1982 : 1 Franc = 0.20$ = 1 credit / 5 Francs = 1.00$ = 6 credits . from 1983 to 1985 : 2 x 1 Franc = 0.40$ = 1 credit / 5 Francs = 1.00$ = 3 credits . from 1986 to 1988 : 5 Francs = 1.00$ = 2 credits / 10 Francs = 2.00$ = 5 credits . from 1989 to 1996 : 5 Francs = 1.00$ = 1 credit / 10 Francs = 2.00$ = 3 credits / sometimes 20 Francs (not 2 x 10 Francs !) = 4.00$ = 7 credits From 1997 to 2000 (I haven't seen arcade places after that), you could buy tokens (their number wasn't always the same depending on where the arcade place was) : . 10 Francs = 2.00$ = 1 token / 50 Francs = 10.00$ = 6 tokens / 100 Francs = 10.00$ = 15 tokens or . 10 Francs = 2.00$ = 1 token / 100 Francs = 20.00$ = 12 tokens / 200 Francs = 40.00$ = 25 tokens Then one token awarded you 2, 1 or even only 0.5 credit depending on the game (and mainly on the cabinet) ...
