  1. Description of Commercial Arcade Games Commercial arcade games in the most classic sense refer to coin-operated games played on coin-operated entertainment machines that are typically posted or installed in public spaces such as amusement arcades, as well as in public businesses like restaurants, diners, and bars. The earliest arcade games were electro-mechanical, as in the case of ​pinball machines and other games that used a combination of electrical and mechanical moving parts. Others are redemption games and merchandisers that you play to redeem or to purchase something. Perhaps the most popular form of arcade games are video games, which are also said to have ushered in the golden age for arcade entertainment, thanks to the emergence of game machines that featured more exciting game plays and more immersive graphics. Steady innovations in the video game industry, however, have caused a decline in the development of video games in their classic format — coin operated arcade units and cabinets — due in large part to the emergence of home video game machines and consoles. These new technologies not only provided a way for gamers to play at home but also lured users in with much richer gaming experiences and more sophisticated game mechanics, lore, and back stories or even sagas.

  2. Just the same, ​commercial arcade games​ remain a staple in amusement parks and public businesses, offering great ways for business owners to entice customers and give them something to do while they wait. There are still arcade centers and amusement parks dedicated to commercial arcade games despite the increasing prominence of personal smart devices that offer gaming opportunities on the go. ​Arcade games​ in their classic form have such a lure and appeal, thanks to their highly immersive gaming experience, classic feel, and nostalgia. One of the reasons why commercial arcade games are such an enticing form of entertainment is because they often feature short game levels and simple, intuitive, and easy to use control schemes, all the while offering rapidly increasing game and difficulty levels. There is also something rewarding and challenging about an arcade center’s environment where a player is basically renting a game and keeping it going for as long as they can keep their in-game avatar alive or at least until they run out of coins or tokens to play. Arcade games are also popular because they usually have easy learning curves, while providing players an action-packed gaming experience and oftentimes, an addictive gameplay, whether you are playing a purely reflex game or something that requires strategy and complex thinking.
