Where I was in southern CT from 1982-1989-ish (when I was old enough to actually be paying attention) had the standard fare scattered all over (convenience stores, pizza parlors, lobbies for department stores, malls, fast food joints, gas stations, diners, laundry rooms, even hotels and hospitals had game rooms- shit, they were everywhere) but there were a few spots I could get to like Arnie's Place and Milford Rec that had a LOT of machines all in one spot.
And they had girls there too

I remember Bourne Go-carts when I was out on the Cape in the summers back then had quite a few machines too actually.
There were mall-cades scattered around but nothing like the Time-Outs and Alladin's Castles I see were in other areas.
Atari
Nintendo
Midway
Konami
Universal
Gottlieb
Centuri
Sega
Taito...
Those come to mind immediately.
I don't really recall seeing a lot of bootlegs or games that I have since learned are rare birds.
Lots of the popular titles from all the above brands though, and they were everywhere you could see someone could stuff one.
I sucked at all of them but I did get to play a lot of what existed at the time because I tried pretty much every machine I saw instead of obsessing over any particular one.
And the lines for some of them were reeeeally loooong sometimes- marquees with quarters across the entire frame.
Now I think about it, pins were a rarity by that point too.
I remember seeing far more of those when I was younger (1976-1981) living in western MD and that was pretty much the last time I saw a lot of Bronze Age stuff in the wild too.
By the time we left MD most of what I remember seeing was Space Invaders and Pac-Man everywhere.
Strange to think how much all of that changed in such a short span of time- especially when still in 1983 everyone I knew figured that arcades would be a forever thing.
Man...
