• If a reader has watched Back to the Future Part
  III, which is set in 1885, then they will have
  seen what arcades were like back then. In the
  past, the most exciting entertainment options
  were shooting galleries, ball toss games,
  fortunetellers, and automatons that played music.
  The first coin-operated devices appeared in the
  1920s, and by the 1930s, wooden pinball machines
  had joined the market. The birth of the
  entertainment arcade saw the introduction of
  games like skeeball, basketball attractions, and
  other tests of manual dexterity. While these
  early versions of arcades lacked the electrical
  light and sound presentations that became
  commonplace, there was no denying that they were
  the contemporary precursors of the genre.

• Skee-Ball, which was created in 1909, has been
  around for more than a century, and although the
  title of "the original arcade game" is still up
  for debate, it can't be denied that it has been
  around for quite a long. Shooting galleries have
  been around longer than organized sports. Grand
  Prix, Duck Hunt, and Periscope were among the
  titles that started a trend towards entirely
  electronic, "real" arcade games.

• Arcade Prize Vending Machines developed from a
  tiny subset of consumer electronics entertainment
  towards the end of the 1970s and became a
  separate business. Atari's Breakout, which gave
  rise to many clones and was one of the
  most-played games of its time, was undoubtedly
  one of the most significant games of this period.
  First-person viewpoint games like Road Race and
  Night Driver continued to develop. Still, no one
  could have predicted the acceleration that would
  propel arcades into what is now referred to as
  the Golden Age of gaming.
