The Jumping Game was added to Ken's Arcade late into 1978 and was popular with both players and Ken as two people could play simultaneously meaning more fun for them and more money for Ken.
In 1972 Ken Battersford opened his first and only video games arcade. Nestled in the green rolling hills of the midlands in the small market town of Draughton just off the A508, kens endeavor was at first viewed as witch craft and subsequently burnt down. Undeterred Ken opened another arcade 2 years later in 1974 but some miles down the road in Maidwell which is closer to the A508. This time ken was successful and his video game arcade was accepted and enjoyed for many a year.
