> If you priced them at 50 bucks a pop they would fly out the door. People have always wanted arcade games at home and those people didn't pay attention to any sort of crash.


It wasn't visible, though it may've been in certain news items. It may not've even been on TV much; I did watch 60 Minutes, 20/20, and Nightline as a kid and don't recall anything. We only noticed the smaller arcades closing. But typically anything with more than ten games stayed open through the early 90s at least, and all convenience and drug stores still had a game or two.


Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
