When I was a senior in high school we used to smoke up, drink some Rolling Rock and then go shoot pool and play pinball at a billiards joint in Cherry Hill.
Got good enough at pinball that most of the games were free; pool though, that's another story.
Too bad I wasn't into the "old school" stuff like I am now: the Latin Casino was down the road and always hopping.
