From Pacman to Pin Ball, citizens of the town Marshfield, MA will finally get their chance to play video games in public once again as a 29 year old ban on video games will be lifted soon. It all started back in 1982 due to fears that video games were causing the town kids to steal money from the parents to play them and "go wild" in the process. This was obviously a pretty nutty mindset but perhaps some of it was legitimate back then?

Local bars and other establishments are greatly awaiting the return for the ability to put in video games machines to hopefully increase business. One of the council women that helped the ban go through at the time remembers it being more a concern of what would it lead to next in that gambling could be put in place but maybe that is a bit of extreme paranoia?
