This one definitely seems staged, I can't really say anything against the other one you pointed out though.
You can still get consumer grade cameras from the past. If you get some digital camera from 2001 and take a picture of some kid playing PSone, with the right staging you can probably pass it off as authentic.

My mom's cousin had one of those things >>5255854 posted, along with some old Tandy computer and Nintendo ROB (none of which he ever let me touch, I was pissed about it at the time, but in retrospect it was a good decision, I was a clumsy little fuck of a kid).

The campground where I spent summers as a kid at my grandparents' trailer had a poolhall/arcade in the back of their main office/snack bar. They had some of the oldest arcade games I've seen outside of modern classic gaming museums and conventions. Astro Warrior, APB, Super Pac-Man, SubRoc-3D, and at least 2 games that were older than me, Space Wars and some pre-video racing game that ran on scrolling belt with a projection of a road with cars and canned sounds of engines of crashes. Fond memories of that arcade: despite (or possibly because of) the unsupervised young kids there, the teens and young adults kept feeding quarters into the jukebox to have Clarence Carter's "Strokin'" on a near constant loop, not taking shit from kids 2x-3x my age and narrowly avoiding getting my ass kicked due to cracking them up with my supposedly hilarious badass boasts (apparently I was quoting Rambo when asked how I expected to beat up someone twice my size without a weapon, replying "I need no weapon, I am the weapon"), finding a $50 bill on the ground outside (probably dropped by a pool hustler the night before) which along with birthday money went toward the first videogame I ever bought for myself instead of recieving as a gift (Game Boy with Super Mario Land 2).

No. And "barcades" are not "arcades". They're just old school bars. It used to be common (even the norm) for bars to have arcade games and/or pinball machines in them in the pre-crash era. Not as many of them as a modern barcade, but still.

Other Pinball (and maybe Arcades?) were playable on Fun Fairs. But I'm not quite sure if you could play western arcades during the time of the GDR too, since I only saw those fun fair wagons with Pinball and Arcades after the wall came down. And back than I never saw a Pinball machine or Arcade cabinet (beside the mentioned Polyplay) outside a fun fair.

On of the earliest big-money national tournaments was the Putt Putt $10,000 Pac-Man Tournament in the summer of 1981. Local and regional qualifiers were held at Putt Putt Golf & Games locations nationwide to pick three finalists, who competed in Fayetteville, NC (Putt Putt headquarters) on August 30th to crown a champion. 17-year-old Steve Hair of Columbia scored 372,600 points, edging out Chris Johnson and Mark Spina for the $5,500 first-place prize. The tournament did well enough that Putt Putt announced that they would be offering over $50,000 in prize money in 1982 in a series of $10,000 tournaments. The tournaments ended up being only $5,000 tourneys rather than $10,000. The Centipede tournament took place in January of 1982 with the finals on January 31st. Finalists played a 20-minute game at their local Putt Putt locations with their scores being called in to Putt Putt HQ. Larry Henderson of El Paso won the $2,000 first prize with a score of 299,816. The Tempest finals took place on March 28th with Curtis Kidwell of Arlington, TX taking home the two grand, scoring 409,381 points in 20 minutes. A third $5,000 tournament was scheduled for later in the spring but it isn't known if it ever took place.

The summer of 1981 also saw one of the earliest large-scale state competitions when operator Silco West conducted a California state championship. Silco West was a spinoff of Silco Vending, which had been formed in New Jersey in 1920. In 1981, Silco West was one of California's largest operators with over 400 locations in the state (many of them 7-11s, though other clients included Circle K, Denny's Alpha Beta supermarkets, and Winchell's Donuts). Earlier in the year, Silco had formed an in-house promotion department headed by foosball champion Johnny Lott. Their first program was a state video game championship with proceeds going to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Lott and Silco president Clyde Love even appeared on the Jerry Lewis telethon). Qualifying rounds were held at over 300 Silco-West locations in southern California over a period of eight weeks. Each week, the two highest scores at each location were recorded on a poster and at the end of 8 weeks, the 16 high scores faced off in a five-minute playoff to determine who would go to the 64-player single-elimination finals at the Sheraton Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on August 29th. The main event was a single-elimination Asteroids tournament with two three-minute games per match. Consolation events were held on Defender and Pac-Man. The tournament also included a celebrity event featuring the ubiquitous Matthew Laborteaux, star of Little House on the Prairie and probably the famous (and avid) celebrity gamer of the era. After taking on all comers in Missile Command (he lost only once in 3 hours), Laborteaux faced DJ Rick Dees in a celebrity match. In the finals, John Conley scored 24,170 points in three minutes to beat out Charlie Wells for the grand prize - an Asteroids Deluxe machine and airfare for two to the Atari World Championships in October. The tournament was promoted on local television programs, KIIS FM radio, and even had a spot on the Jerry Lewis telethon.

1984 March of Dimes International Konami/Centuri Track & Field Challenge

Held in spring of 1984, this tournament not only had the longest name of any tournament but it is considered history's largest arcade video game tournament with over a million contestants (800,000 in the U.S. and 200,000 in Japan). The U.S. Qualifying rounds took place from April 30 to May 25 at Aladdin's Castle and National Convenience Store locations (like Stop N Go and Hot Stop Markets). One qualifier from each of the 14 regions went to the four-round finals in Houston on May 26. Winner Gary West along with runners-up Phil Britt and Mike Mallory, travelled to Tokyo to face the top three Japanese finishers - Shinichi Takahashi, Akihiro Oozono, and 14-year-old champion Hideki Houchi . The three were put up at the Grand Palace Hotel (the event venue), given a two-day tour of the resort town of Nikko, and feted at a ceremonial dinner complete with Japanese performers. The presidents of Konami and Centuri were on hand for the main event, which took place on June 9. In the first round, players competed individually on each of the game's six events with Phil Britt winning four of them. The U.S. won the second round, in which each team was given twenty minutes to rack up as many points as possible, 220,000 - 140,000 (interestingly, the Japanese team played on cocktail machines while the US chose uprights). In the final round, each player played three games with only their top score counting. Using their "finger roll" technique, Britt and West finished first and second. All contestants won medals and loving cups and the US team got Seiko watches.

I grew up with a beta player and a VCR. My dad used to play Blockbuster movies on the VCR and record with beta. My next door neighbor also recorded an every episode ever Star Trek marathon on betas with late 80s commercials. So for some reason I associate "where's the beef!" with Star Trek
