Since we’ve opened, Morristown Game Vault has kept track of high scores on all our arcade games and pinballs. Not only do we list them here for all to see, but we also display them right on the wall of our arcade with a projector.
Did you get a high score on a machine? Look for one of our attendants and let them know. Your name can get up here too.
We have to warn you that some games are really tough to conquer. The last person who holds the record on Spy Hunter spent THREE HOURS before he beat his own high score! (Congrats Russell). Remember, you don’t have to drop quarters for 3 hours at The Game Vault. All games are free play. You only pay for the time your are here. See our pricing info for details.
Did you know?
The first coin-operated (aka, coin-op) video game was Galaxy Game on location at Stanford University. That first machine cost $20,000 in 1971. That’s equivalent to over $127,000 in today.
In 1972, Pong was released and quickly became the first commercially successful video game operated by coins. Dozens and dozens of others followed as over 15 different companies began manufacturing coin-op video games between 1972 and 1984.
This was the Golden Age of video games with such well-known titles as Space Invaders (1978), Asteroids (1979), and of course Pac-Man (1980) dominating the market. Pac-Man is still to this day considered the most successful video game of all time. Its 350,000 individual cabinets racked up over $2 billion. With inflation, that’s over $35 billion in today’s dollars!
Do you know that there are different strategies for playing Pac-Man? There’s the Cherry Pattern, the Pear Pattern as well as other tips and tricks you can read about at Classic Gaming.
