In your post, include reference to important people that helped develop arcade game platforms.

David Rosen

In 1966 the first electronic game was invented by the company Sega who made a game called Periscope and this game platform was designed by a man called David Rosen who also made the company Sega.

In 1967 a company called Taito invented the first 2 player game called Crown soccer special and was invented by a man called Michael Kogan.

The Game Pong

Space Invaders

Pac-Man

In 1969 Sega introduced the first ever arcade game to incorporate the use of a joystick and was called Missile.

In 1972 the introduction of pong was brought in to play for arcade games and then shortly after the release of sega's new game called killer shark was introduced and top the tables for arcade games.

In 1978 Taito's space invaders was introduced and spurred the moment for arcade games to come in caused wide spread arcade games to be introduced in to shops and shopping malls around the world.

In the 1980's sega also introduced more games and some of there best games introduced were Pac-Man and Donkey Kong which spurred the golden age for arcades once again.

In the early 1990's arcade games had risen once again from its decline due to cap-com creating an arcade game called street fighter 2 which made arcade games rise again.

Critically comment on why Atari was so influential in the development of Arcade machines.

Nolan Bushnell

Atari was so influential in the development of arcade machines because Nolan Bushel and Ted Dabney engineered firm which introduced the first ever designed and built arcade game for futures to come. 

In 1972 Nolan Bushnell had a new design member of his Atari Inc. called Al Alcorn to design a arcade game which eventually be called Magnavox Odyssey's tennis game which would eventually turn out to be called 'Pong'. 

In 1979 Atari later designed the arcade game called Asteroids and became one of the most popular games in the golden age of arcade games.

In 1981 because of the success of the Asteroids game the company Atari later designed a revamped version of the asteroids called asteroids deluxe.

Asteroids

In 1982 the company atari also designed more games to follow on from asteroids game and made  game called space duel which turned out to be another success for atari in arcade games.

In 1987 the company atari also influenced the arcade game market once again by introducing a game called Blasteroids which set the bench mark for atari once again.

Analyse Why Arcade Machines Declined in the 1990's

Arcade machines declined in the 1990's because of the introduction of the game console by other games company which caused an up roar because it made games more affordable and more accessible for people world wide and caused sales in arcade machines drop because people didn't see the point on wanting to play arcade games at an arcade store when they could purchase a games console  and have the luxury of playing arcade games all day long for free.

Also due to the fall of arcade games, Arcade companies began to have still the upper hand on game consoles due to the interactions the player could do at arcade venues all around the world and this still caused people to play games at arcade machines.  

Also because home game consoles began to out match arcade machines in game graphics and technology this also caused the decline in arcade games and arcade stores across america and also the introduction of the internet also set the bench mark for game consoles to come and soon arcade games couldn't come close to matching game consoles technology and eventually it declined and the rise of games consoles began to start.

Conclusion

My Conclusion is going to explain my views and what were the limitations of arcade machines at there present success during release.

During the time of release of new arcade machines and the new games involved, the limitations were high compared to its competition which was the home console market, and this was due to the fact that, arcade machines could only play one specific game at any given time, the user had to continuously put money in to the machine if he or she wanted to carry on playing the game, but compare this to the home console which at the time could play more than one game at anyone time and didn't cost the user also of money when playing the game because he could buy the game once and once only and could play the game as many time as he or she likes.

In addition, arcade machines were only in given places around the world which caused problem for some children at the time because they couldnt play the arcade machines if they were to far away from an arcade building, and this caused a drop in arcade machines, but the main problem of arcade machines was the fact the user had to keep paying to play the games and could be spending a lot of money just to have some fun.

Other limitations of the arcade market was the introduction of the home console and its success, because of the success of the home console, most of the arcade games that were made solely for the arcade machines where now being made for the home console's market and was making more people buy the home console over arcade because they could enjoy the same games of the arcade era to the home console's era in gaming.
