Very nearly posted about this myself! Many a night on holiday was spent on this. There used to be a machine at my Mom's college too, if I got the chance, pestered my Dad to give me a quid to play on it :DDog Pants wrote:First arcade I was in awe of:

Re: Gaming moments of our childhoods
I (well, my dad) had an Acetronic MPU-2000. It was old when I remember it as a kid, but he'd drag it out for the odd game of Space Invaders and Tank Plane Battle every now and then.Jimmington wrote:Did anyone have the first consoles? Binatone / Atari / Intellivision type things on here?

3D Ant Attack, Kevin Toms' Football Manager and Daley Thompson's Decathlon are all there, yes. 23, 20 and 5 respectively I think. And Atic Atac is indeed 26.Jimmington wrote:Some good games in there!
FT - Do I spy an Ant Attack, and the football manager game with the bloke with a perm on the front - Kevin something was his name... Maybe a Daley Thompson game as well? And I am sure that is Atic Atac.

We had a Binatone multi-pong thing with Tennis, Squash, Football and a light gun for Shootings. I also put a few hours into things like QBert and Pitfall on the Atari 2600. They were pretty shit compared to arcade games though, which is where all my pocket money went. My sister was always much more canny and only frequented the one-armed bandits, because of course children gambling was completely acceptable and totally legit back then.
