Did arcade games REALLY use Tube-driven monitors??

I seem to recall reading here that someone has worked on either a Centipede game or some other vintage , wonderful game--and they talked about the color monitors using TUBES !! I did NOT expect this to me the case. I expected them to contain all SS monitors, likely foreign-made and a lot of chips in the low-level ckty too. Then I read about a game that had a 6JE6 tube red-plating, likely from loss of drive or such.

True--or someone's dream??
