Atlantic City Action

Atlantic City Action, also distributed under the name Boardwalk Casino, was one of Epos Corporation's bets on bringing casino themes into an arcade cabinet in 1984, right in the middle of the fever for Atlantic City as America's mecca of legal gambling. It runs on Zilog Z80 hardware with six control buttons, built for a single player. It's a minor title even within Epos's catalog, a company that left few big marks on arcade history. Its interest today is more documentary than playable: it portrays how 80s casino aesthetics also seeped into arcades.
