Atlas Arcadia is a geographical codex of memories and historical data, focused on the identification and location of vintage arcades, game rooms and Family Entertainment Centers. These entertainment complexes came into their heyday in the early 1980’s, weathering multiple booms and busts to still survive today, albeit much fewer in number. The Atlas’ purpose is to collect the memories of these arcades and serve as a resource to enthusiasts and gamers everywhere. It also features locations that operate today, so that interested gamers know where they can go to get their vid and/or pin fix.

The Atlas has been ceded with a good number of locations, but it is incomplete. And this is where you come in. Indeed, the Atlas’ completion is dependent upon you and everyone who has fond recollections of these dark dens of electronic entertainment. If you remember an arcade that isn’t listed here, add it! It’s as simple as creating an account and adding a few details. Do you have any photos? You can add those too! We also have a growing community of collectors of arcade ephemera who have found a home here, attributing tokens and tickets in their collection, while helping others do the same.

Join us in our quest to create the world’s most comprehensive collection of arcade history. For as long as we remember, the legacy of the arcade lives on!
