Golden Era coin operated arcade predecessors for your iDevice

I thought a few of you might enjoy this sort of thing on your iWhatever. It's a collection of those old mechanical arcade style games (but not pinball). http://toucharcade.com/2011/10/27/penny-parlor-review/

Penny Parlor is the game. Seems like a match made in heaven for this crowd.

I remember the arcades at Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm used to have those vintage mechanical games. I wonder if they're still there?

I do recall one arcade at Disneyland, there was a walk through door to a old fashioned bar, that served coke, and had the coke company collectables for sale there. One particular item in the arcade was a machine that had electricity going to brass ball fixtures, and the longer you could hold onto them, the higher score you would get. The electricity would make your forearms feel like they weighed a ton.

I think many people remember the electric vibrating football games, you would set up on the floor to play.
