Arcade photos, Maroochydore, Queensland circa 1970


Recommended Posts

How cool are these! Taken at the Pleasure Centre, Maroochydore, Queensland over a few years during the 1970s, these were the days.

 

Old arcade photos from Australia are near impossible to find

From the Calendar it would appear this picture was taken in June 1981?

Those were the days!!

Totally agree Fergs. Coins on the glass to challenge for a game but for anyone that thinks it was all loves and kisses in those days there was always the locals vs tourists thing happening. It was a good grounding place to learn the art of protocol, i.e loose once, beat them the second game and then make a call on how the 3rd game is going to turn out depending on where the door was. Good times, there used to be a similar place in Coolangatta.

These are amazing shots. Just like I remember as a kid with rows of EM pinballs and rifle games everywhere. Love the Chrysler Royal out front too.

 

if you have a fb page send me a pm..have about 1,600 pix from arcades, mostly pinballs from circa 1920 to 1985.

 

have set all pix to public but going to lock them again to private this coming weekend.

This is type of history I enjoy. I still own 4 of the arcade machines (Indy 500, Missle, Crack Shot & Speed Race) in my collection. There is even a photo of my Holy Grail's being Drag Races & Bally Road Runner.

 

Does anyone know the game in the last photo between Stunt Pilot & Drag Races?

Cheers

I might be mistaken but I think the calendar says January. If so then assuming the week starts at Mon and cross checking the years this could have been taken, January 1st fell twice on a Tuesday -1974 & 1980. No sign of Space Invaders so it must be January 1974!
