Arcades and arcade games were well beyond huge in NA from about 1981-1984. Pac-Man Fever was very real. There were machines in literally every kind of business, at least one arcade in every mall, and it was the peak years for Chuck E. Cheese. It's why golden-age stuff is still pretty easy to find in the US, while it requires some hunting in the UK.
