Totally forgot about those! I used to play Warlords with my sister on one. It’s like PvP Breakout, with two paddles each, and you need to protect your own corners. Lost so many hours to that game.
Everything was sticky, too. Sometimes you’d put your quarter in the rim above the existing quarter, then after like an hour and half a pizza later, you’d realise your family was alone in the place and nobody had approached the machine. You’d go back and try to pick up the quarters, but the placeholding one was basically glued to the glass by coke and who knows what, obviously having been there for weeks.
Kind of amazing the coin slot didn’t glue itself shut.
