Before I started school my mother sometimes would have to bring me in to work with her when she couldn’t find a baby sitter. She worked in a restaurant in a bowling alley, during the day it wasn’t very busy so she would be running the place on her own. There were a few regulars who would give me quarters to play the Galaga machine, and sometimes they’d give me a couple bucks and I’d go across the building to the arcade for some Spy Hunter and Donkey Kong.
