Cafes and pinball and then pubs, Space Invaders, Asteroids and my favourite Galaxians.

IMHO it was the basic graphics and sound to support great game play that has made these games classics.  :y :y :y

I've played all the old stuff but the console I loved best was the SNES. It was the first one to keep me up all night.

back in the day there were more than a few studios that had glass topped space invader machines in the "artist lounge"  ,    they all had funny little straight line scratches all over the top and were rarely actually functional as games....

You should have seen the table tops at CBS records in Soho Square. The cleaners couldn't wait to get in in the morning. They used to go home high as kites...at half seven in the morning. ;D
