I got a pocket full of quarters and I'm headed for the arcade.

I don't make a lot of money, but I'm spending everything I make.

Business history at Pushkin.fm.

Everybody's getting into the video games business now.

Toy companies in particular are looking at this and being like, oh, this is a toy.

So Mattel, Barbie, you know, they make the Intellivision.

Coleco, which around this time is making Cabbage Patch Kids, another 80s shout out.

Coleco makes ColecoVision.

But Atari is winning.

They are dominant.

They have something like 80% market share.

Incredible.
