libraries, ~~arcades~~, malls, ~~bowling alleys, pool halls,~~ public swimming pools, ~~console game systems, video rental stores,~~ bikes, parks, ~~dungeons and dragons.~~

Not every kid had money growing up and most home entertainment was expensive.

dungeons and dragons manuals were at my library and arcades had 10 tokens for a dollar. I was able to make enough collecting aluminum cans. libraries also had movies but yeah you neede a friend with a console or vcr which I had. bowling and pool were more high school things when I was able to make that sweet sweet minimum wage. Also when out of funds it was still fun to watch people play at arcades and sometimes you might find an errant token on the ground.
