I would cash my check from my part-time dishwasher job, and a buddy and I would sprint to the bowling alley, three rolls of quarters in hand prepared to spend the next four hours plunking 120 quarters into that stupid machine.
And you can play it on Google's home page.
My favorite from the day was Galaxian and Asteroids. I was a teenager when Pong came out and played that quite a bit also.

I saw one about 20 years ago, and it was old then.
