A
video arcade is a place where people play
arcade video games. The video games are typically in large upstanding boxes; the players insert coins or tokens into the machines and stand in front of them playing the game. Some machines, such as
Ms. Pac Man[?], are occasionally in smaller boxes with a clear glass top; the player sits at the machine playing it, looking down. This style of
arcade game is known as a
cocktail-style arcade game table.
