There was another arcade game I liked. Vector graphics. You played in a polygonal shaped tube shooting targets and you'd warp to the next level on clearing it. The control was a knob you'd spin to move your blaster.

Don't remember.

In the late 70's I was working in a pizza parlor that was almost an arcade. On my break, I'd rack up credits for people. Pizza was pretty good. There was a friend of mine Bob. Between Bob and I we'd make sure there were a lot of credits for everybody. Brian was pretty good too. Between the three of us, nobody bought Centipede. The machine usually had 50 credits all the time. Sometimes the boss would pay us to play Centipede, Asteroids and (me) pinball. Good will giving out free games to the customers.
