Americans spend money for fun The video craze The video craze is addicting. Americans of all ages spend millions of quarters a week matching their wits against the likes of the ghost in Pac Man, the gorilla in Donkey Kong, or the flying hot dogs in Mega-Mania. Also, Atari and Intellivision home games are a hot item. Junior Pat Smith, an accom- plished video game player, spends six to eight hours a weekend at arcades. He prefers The Electric Cowboy, but he recommended Arnold's or Smiley's as the best place to go if you want a lot of tokens for a dollarfl Pat, who referred to his interest as a pastime rather than an addiction, said the games were expensive at first. I was spending S5 a night, but I got better, and now I spend about two or three bucks a weekend, he said. According to Sandi Walls, manager of the Golden Nugget THE CHASE IS ON - Senior Melissa Matthews matches her wit and her quarters in the never ending struggle to beat the machine at a local arcade. Photo by Vicki Causey Arcade, the games, which have been around about three years now, are as popular as ever. The reason is hard to pinpoint. junior Todd Holloway credited the games for developing coordination and judgment, while senior Lynclli Patterson enjoyed the social aspect. They are relaxing and fun and they give you a chance to be with your friends, she said. - By Marla Hardwick .
