Games on consoles or PCs can be referred to as an "arcade game" if it shares these qualities, or if it's a direct port of an arcade title. This is due to the environment of the Arcade, where the player is essentially renting the game for as long as their in-game avatar can stay alive (or until they run out of tokens). In short, arcade games are popular in places open to the public where people are likely to be waiting on something.Īrcade games often have very short levels, simple and intuitive control schemes, and rapidly increasing difficulty.
In addition to restaurants and video arcades, arcade games are also found in bowling alleys, college campuses, dormitories, laundromats, movie theatres, supermarkets, shopping malls, airports, truck stops, bar/pubs, hotels, and even bakeries. The first commercial arcade game was Computer Space, released in November, 1971 by Nutting Associates. Arcade games are coin-operated video game systems, usually placed in public locations.
