My Fascination with Old Arcade Games and Checking the Left Panel

Whenever I see an old arcade game like Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man, I always check the left side of the cabinet for one thing.

That thing is I want to see how worn down it is.

With games like Pac-Man, most play right-handed. Without any buttons to push, most players typically hold themselves up by holding onto the left side of the arcade cabinet, as I show in this video.

It's a small thing that most would probably look over it, but it shows its age and experience. I think it's neat.
