So I was talking with a Millenial once who said that early PS2 era was the Golden Age of video gaming. I looked at him funny
Had to explain the real Golden Age of video games was 1979-1983, when there were arcades all over the U.S. Even my shitty little podunk town had an arcade. Also, it seemed every pizza place, laundromat, pharmacy, and bar had at least one game
People were so freakin' crazy about going to the arcade the U.S. Mint had to made a fuckton more quarters to keep up with demand. If you have a handful of quarters right now, I guarantee you will have either one or both of these dates: 1965 and 1981.
