The unauthorized video games included “Galaga,” “Tank Battalion,” and at least five iterations of “Pac-Man,” all of which are trademarked by Bandai Namco Entertainment, whose U.S. headquarters is also in Santa Clara. Engin said the games were contained in classic arcade machines, which sold for at least $1,495 apiece.

Don't know about anyone else, but this is the part that shocks me.

While we are seeing classic arcade cabinets going down in price, I'm certain, like pinball, nice examples are still desirable.
