Arcadia National Bar: From One Year to the Next
Special | 26m 47sVideo has Closed Captions
The challenges of operating a bar that features rare legacy video games.
Video game industry journalist and historian John Andersen profiles Arcadia National Bar, a Portland, Maine arcade bar that opened in 2014. The popularity of Arcadia led to a renovation and expansion of the bar space, which meant more room for patrons and games. Arcadia National Bar is not only saving a style of gameplay but preserving the physical social element, which online gaming lacks.
