Penny Arcade
PAX convention creators
Penny Arcade is an early form of amusement venue featuring coin-operated machines—arcade games, fortune tellers, strength testers, and peep shows—originally costing a penny to play.
The term now evokes nostalgic, turn-of-the-century entertainment: The boardwalk still has an old penny arcade with working machines.
Penny Arcade is also the name of a popular webcomic about video game culture.
