What year would you pick as the quintessential arcade year?
Chuckolicious:
I'm dealing with a detail of my home arcade and want some input as to "THE" year of the arcade.
My opinion is 1979, but 77-83 is a valid window.
Thoughts?
markrvp:
1981
Blanka:
I would say 1981. In that year Donkey Kong, Galaga and ms. Pac Man were released, and Pac-Man was coming to steam.

1994...KOF!!!
Apparently that falls outside of the "acceptable" range, so I'd go with 1982 (Dig Dug, Pole Position, Tron, QBert, Joust, Robotron, ...)
Benevolance:
I think this sort of depends a bit on when you were old enough to go to the arcade. :D
