I lived in the country so no local arcades, but there was a big truck stop near my place and a friend and I would walk over there every so often.

I remember playing Black Knight with the magnets to try to save your ball. I was never very good, but every once in a while you would get into a zone and run up a good score, and that would be enough to get me to try again.

When there used to be Red Robin restaurants in town, often they would have pinball machines still for a quarter. After a good Banzai Burger I'd play a game or two. I was disappointed when they disappeared.
