Asteroids, Gorf, Dragon's Lair, Tempest.

In the intro of the second video, there's an unidentified machine that we just see a part of (I think it could have been a customized one for the show). And later you see the dad playing a Pac Man caberet.

And WOW! cyber chatting! (2nd vid) :-D



vintagegamer:

Actually I didn't know the others- my level of cabinet recognition is still in its infancy stages   :D

Anyone recognize the pin from the side art?




RayB:

The Pac caberet is in this episode:

and you can see the set designers didn't like the plain black fronts of a couple of the cabinets. They painted weird white stripes all over Tempest and Asteroids.

vintagegamer:

I think MAME actually had an impact on me getting cabs too- I remember showing my wife the games on the PC, both arcade and Atari, and her response being: "yeah it's cool but it's not like playing the REAL thing.."  So any time she gives me crap about looking at a cab, I remind her of her opinion- works every time  :D
