Yep, then you went back home to load a tape for 10 minutes and have a ton of fun with some ugly pixels.
It wasn't even bad value when you got good at the games. Which is probably why they were slowly replaced with gambling machines. Outrun and Turbo outrun started my passion for racing games. I had this at home 
which was entertaining (if the tape would load) or this in town 
The last time arcades blew my mind was with the holographic adventure game.
After that arcades disappeared where I lived.
That machine was actually replaced with one of these
It's certainly 3D with very detailed textures and realistic physics. Bah.
