Arcade Games in Indonesia: “Ding Dong”

In Indonesia, arcade game machines are commonly called

“ding dong”

Origin of the Term “Ding Dong”

The term “ding dong” appeared because of several sounds associated with early arcade machines:

• the bell sound of coin-operated machines
• electronic sound effects produced by arcade games
• the “ding-dong” sound heard when a game starts or when a player scores

Over time, people in Indonesia began using the term “ding dong” to refer to both the arcade machines and the places where these machines are located.

Examples in everyday conversation:

• “Let’s go play ding dong at the mall.”
• “There used to be many ding dong machines in game rental shops.”
