In the early 1980's, the arcade coin-op was the most popular brand of entertainment to grace all video game fanatics.  The world was introduced to Mario the mustached hero, and his longtime archrival, Donkey Kong.  Even I admit to having drained my weekly allowance of quarters just to get those couple of moments of pure joy whenever I used to hit the arcades back then!  I even used to play Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. using the sit-down "cocktail" arcade cabinets!  :)
