Quoted from erak:

Here is a short award winning film mostly shot in my local arcade filmed in1980.
Casino Arcade Downtown Hamilton Ontario Canada.
It closed for good in 2002.
This is basically a look back in time. Cool that the creator posted this to our local pinball league.

Well, this little short film bought back a lot of memories for me.
I recall winning an asteroids tournament at a local department store with over 300 entries.
1st place was an Atari 2600 system and 2 games...
No internet... no newspaper write up... I just won and was thrilled.
Back when pinball used to cost a quarter and I would ride my bicycle to the store and spend all the money I made mowing grass.
I don't even have any polaroids from this period, because I did not have a camera, or thought to even need one.
Pre 9/11 and no responsibilities...
