There's nothing new for me to play this week - except, since Pong is still the number one game for the home console market in 1975 and I was feeling emboldened by my comeback victory on https://www.ponggame.org last week, I upped the difficulty level, played more aggressively, and proceeded to blow a big lead and lose.
What I'll be watching for out in the arcade world is Speed Race, re-released or re-titled as Wheels in 1975 and taking the top money-making spot for games that year. It's a great looking game for that time - really, a substantial leap forward in graphics - and my future, 80s self will be paying tribute to it through playing Spy Hunter, Rad Racer, and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jc9_xrD2_M
Also out there gobbling up quarters was the pinball game Strato Flite, so that's another one I'll try to get my hands on someday. Until then, you can always count on YouTube for a relaxing gameplay vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XevLhYF0f0Q
