“video games” were mechanical, and you interacted with targets by manipulating a metal spherical pixel using, hand eye coordination, timing and physics. You were rewarded with multiple “pixels” if you were good enough.
no such thing as a quarter in Oz. So 20c. But I remember watching the 20c games go from that to 40c, 50c and then $1. For games like KISS, and Playboy none the less! (Other 70’s style pinnies never got passed 50c because they were not popular enough, and newer ones were shadowing them in the 80’s.

They cost 20c to play and you only got 3 lives.
20 cents!? By the time inflation hit, it cost us a whole quarter!
