In a slight way, that was how arcades looked here (N. America region) if going back to 1960s to mid 1970s. The big difference would be some arcades would also have air hockey tables, pinball tables, better colorful looking EM hardware games..etc.
With chips (roms, cpus) still being costly, and monitors not specifically made for video games purposes until 1974, it was primarily assorted pong clone variations for folks to enjoy other than Computer Space, Space Race-Asteroid, Atari Gotcha etc. Better video game selections weren't happening until after summer of 1974.
