My mom would give me and brother a $5 and drop us off at the Swamp in Southland Mall and go shooping.

Fun Arcade on Vets in Metairie was there in the 70's before video games...

Waisted many quarters in that place. Had to sneak there as a kid because my parents didn't want me going....

Not trying to be overly technical, but I think you chose pictures from the late 70s.
You need to get pictures of the girls with big hair and guys wearing Members Only jackets or tight OP shorts, playing Pac Man or Missile Command.

Spent time recently at the Beercade in Chicago. Lots of alcohol, some fine women, and lots and lots of arcade games that are almost all free

Owned it.

Couldn't Pac-Man, Space Invaders, etc. fer shite but could camp out at the vertical version of Galaga.

The seated one? Not so much.
