@obihahn somehow I think of the Thriller album with these games but that didn't come out until Nov 1982 and I know I didn't listen to it until spring 1983 on my classmates Sony walkman for the first time! I'm also not sure the bowling alley got the cabinet on the day of release either. It may have been months before actually seeing one. And I don't remember it IN the bowling alley. Only at Chuck E Cheese!! The alley had frogger tho. Not centipede. That was at Chuck's too. So good.
