This used to happen when a couple of friends were determined to finish a Co-Op platform or shooter, Or were in intense beat-em-up battles like Mortal kombat in the arcade back in the late 80’s to mid-90’s.
For me and my mate it was Astyanax. We’d have a stack of 10ps on our last day in Butlins determined to get to the end of the game… We never did but when we turned around we were surprised to see we had an audience LOL.

I can only ever recall such an audience before playing Turttles (or Simpsons) but they were 4 player and I think I was been carried a little by the random people who’d happily join in to see how far you’d get.. Happy days, don’t see that anymore in arcades do you..
It’s all carnival crap these days.
