The awesome photos of what arcades looked like before video games

Gaming arcades existed long before video games ever entered the mainstream.

“In the days before video games, amusement arcades like Wonderland were filled with a panoply of analog entertainment, from shooting galleries to skee-ball to mechanical fortune tellers to endless varieties of pinball,” reports Mashable.

One such place was Wonderland Arcade,  located near a major bus transfer point at the corner of 12th and Grand in Kansas City, Missouri.
