Arcade games

Sign in to edit

The following are lists of arcade game sales figures. Arcades were dominated by electro-mechanical games (EM games) up until the arrival of video games in the 1970s. In the history of video games, the video game industry originated from arcades in 1971. Since then, arcade games accounted for the largest share of the video game industry up until the late 1990s, while a majority of top-selling home video games were arcade ports or arcade-style games.[1] Home consoles eventually overtook arcades in worldwide revenue during the late 1990s.

The best-selling and highest-grossing arcade game of all time is Space Invaders (1978), followed by Pac-Man (1980) and then Street Fighter II (1991).

Instead of selling dedicated Mr Do! machines, Universal sold the game as a kit. The kit came with a customized control panel, a computer board with Mr Do! read-only memory (ROM) chips, stickers that could be placed on the side of stand-up arcade machines for art, and a plastic marquee. It was the first game ever sold as a conversion only. According to former Universal Sales western regional sales manager Joe Morici, the company sold approximately 30,000 copies of the game in the United States alone."
