How tricky this one is to answer really depends on how widespread the arcade machine was. I actually played it once here in Sydney, so I'm assuming it wasn't super-rare, but you never know.

I'm off to bed now, so if anyone gets it, don't feel obliged to wait for confirmation.

Correct

I think my next clue might have been, 'The title sounds a bit like: Plasticine F*cking Dentures.'
