Great article on game arcades.  Australian arcades have a similar
history, though they lasted a bit longer than in the US because they
also featured a lot of Japanese games with hardware you couldn't easily
get at home, such as the music and rhythm games (drums, guitars,
keyboards, turntables, Taiko drums etc!)

Share and enjoy,
