(while exact dates are debated, the “golden age” of ‘arcade video games’ is usually defined as a period beginning sometime in the ‘late 1970s’ and ending sometime in the ‘mid-1980s’)
.
(excluding a brief resurgence in the ‘early 1990s’, the ‘arcade industry’ subsequently declined in the ‘western hemisphere’ as competing ‘home-based video game consoles’ such as ‘playstation’ and ‘xbox’ increased in their ‘graphics’ and ‘game-play capability’ and decreased in ‘cost’)
