As a kid, I grew up right next to Stanford University. Spent my childhood on my bike on campus. Went to all the football games for years, most of the basketball games. It was my playground.
One of the first - if not THE first - video games that was later developed into a video game was located in the coffee house at Tresidder Union. It was called The Galaxy Game. The whole story here..

We played that thing a ton. Not that many people knew it was there so there was rarely a wait. Later, the original Pong machine - I mean THE original hand-built machine that later became an arcade and home classic - was also in that coffee house and we got to play it a ton too.
