So I have a question for the old hands:

How did it work with cocktail arcade tables back in the day (early 80s). Were there dedicated cocktail tables in Australia made by the developers of the actual games (Atari, Nintendo, etc.) or were all the cocktail tables here made by Australian manufacturers like Hankin? Would operators buy a local machine and then get the boards from overseas or did the tables come with a game already installed? What if an operator wanted to swap out a game? Were there restrictions about what tables could have which games installed in them? Were there cocktail tables where you could select and play more than one game?

Sorry, a lot of questions, but I didn't pay much attention when I was growing up as I only played pinball.
