A) This is a pinball site
B) That is not the game. Somebody posts a picture and we try to guess the game. The person who makes the right guess get to post the next picture.

Either way, if you want to play this particular Guessing Game, you need to guess the table in the last pic correctly, to win a chance of asking the next question, or posting next table clue.

It is not fair to the winner, or others participating in this Guessing game, if others post questions without guessing the current pic posted by winner.
If you were the current winner and someone else tried posting another question without guessing yours, I would say the same exact thing to them.

If you don't want to wait until you guess correctly, just start a new topic of your own, and ask your arcade question there.
I am sure it will be answered.

you right....good
pong was 72.
you got 2 of the big hits i remember.
you missed 3.

And how do you think the person who answered correctly (Post#33), felt when you cut in line with your question? (Post#34)
The "winner", or "correct guesser", is the one who starts the new question.
You have been told this several times by more than 1 person.

It is all about having fun, and maybe learning a bit of pinball history while searching for correct answer for table.
Keeping it fair for all is a good thing.
Otherwise we would have a bunch of questions asked by everyone at the same time.

As for your "cut in line" question,
I am going to guess Pac-Man and Tempest and Frogger and Battlezone and Donkey Kong and Galaga, helped push out the pinball tables back then.

what.....read my mind??
it was an easy Q.
if you asked google with some key words you would have seen the answer.
it is so easy now to get what you are looking for on the web.
it was not like this before the web.
you missed some of the biggest money makers at that time.
pacman, mrs pacman, defender, astroids, invaders from mars, street fighter and donkey kong.
these were the ones at my arcade.
there were more but probably not as popular as the ones above.
i found this link on the page with some key words.
it was the best link for what i was looking for.

>>>>The "winner", or "correct guesser", is the one who starts the new question.<<<<
well, umm, i've seen days go by without the correct guess did not post another so i did.
again you missed pacman, defender, asteroids, invaders form mars and donkey kong.
these were the money makers i saw at every arcade i went to at that time.
kids were lined up dropping quarters to play them.
the PB machines were removed soon after to make way for the money makers.
the kids were sitting on the glass playing the new video games.

The first machine I mentioned was Pac-Man.
Ok, now lets move back to the winners picture in Post#53.
Please wait until you have guessed pic correctly, to post next question or pic.
Thank you for your cooperation.

So, next spoiler, Jim X was the designer.

 

[Pop Bumper Pete]

what.....read my mind??
it was an easy Q.

What I listed was 12 popular video games that came before Space Invaders ever existed
You cannot ask a question about video game history, and then deny video game history, just because it was 'before your time'

umm, pete, go back and read #34 and 55.
i was not asking for video games that far back.
just the video games in 78-80 that started showing up at the arcades with the decline in PB.
we even had one of these....10c 1play
it was no threat to PB.

these were the threat to PB at my local arcade

https://eandt.theiet.org/2018/07/17/gamings-golden-age-top-10-retro-vintage-arcade-classics

there were a lot reasons why PB went down.
inflation, rising costs of operations and repair because of all the moving parts and components.
even way back then a new machine was lot of money.
the profit margin was gone because of inflation and the cost of operating a PB machine.

I do not care
Either play the game I have set out, or start your own trivia thread

I feel like I am arguing with my 8yo grandson who just will not listen to the established rules.
do you want to go to the naughty corner?

 

[pinhead1]

wow : )
i think we all might do that occasionally.
the discussion can bring up ideas and thoughts on something else.

It has been two days, would you like to know more?
