How the video arcade industry fell apart in 1983

The title is misleading, it should read "how one arcade company fell apart in 1983". It took over a decade for the industry to fall apart.

In 1996 Capcom released Street Fighter 4, this game pulled in 5K per week per cabinet for the first 3 months after the vending company I worked for got it.

Golden tee golf was another extremely profitable arcade game made in the mid to late 90s.

Im pretty sure highspeed internet and connected game consoles is what caused the arcade industry to fall apart.

I have to say the arcade industry was most exciting and fun industry I ever worked in, huge profits in a cash business made for some wild and crazy after hour parties at the trade shows!!!
