Video games killed Foosball. Foosball was not popular for a long period, but it was huge in the '70's. In 1978 they had a million dollar foosball tournament, at a time when the highest paid NFL player (O.J. Simpson) only made $750K.

late 70's-early 80's the corner store by the school set up an arcade in a back room with a 1/2-dozen machines. Ya couldnt get NEAR the place for 2 hours after school. If you really wanted to play skip skool and go when everybody else was in class. (dont ask how I know that )

One of the same reasons pinball machines were illegal in a lot of places in the 50's-60's.
