Reply #4: I sometimes wonder how many $$ I put in those things.

Enough to master Galaga at Fulmer's grocery store, Pac Man at the local convenience store/bait shop, and Gorf & Joust at the bowling alley. Those things were everywhere.

That probably adds up to a lot of money, although I do remember paying as much as seventy bucks for a few Sega Genesis games when I was in college. Games got a little too complicated after that (or more likely, I just lost interest).
