video arcades
Coin-operated game venues
Video arcades are commercial establishments filled with coin-operated game machines—typically in dimly lit rooms with rows of cabinets featuring racing games, shooters, and classic titles like Pac-Man.
They peaked in the 1980s before home consoles drew players away: We spent every weekend at the video arcade.
Some arcades survive as retro attractions or combined with bars and restaurants.
