  1. Finding Ms. Pac-Man: The Arcade Game Revival

  2. Colorado Springs • Take a short drive west of Colorado Springs into the foothills of Pike’s Peak, and you’ll find yourself in Manitou Springs. • Set of storefronts offers rows upon rows of working vintage arcade games from decades past. • Tourists have found their way to this little town to enjoy the shops and restaurants of the historic downtown district, But mostly hanging out at the arcade

  3. The New Arcade • An article published by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review explores the recent revival of gathering places that are once again touting the arcade games experience. • These new gathering places are retrofitted for the tastes of grown-up Gen-Xers and up-and-coming Millennials, offering designer coffees, various types of alcohol, or both, depending on the time of day.

  4. Vintage Collections • Many revisiting the glory days is by bringing the arcade home. • For most collectors, the obsession doesn’t extend that far, but it’s increasingly common for people to accumulate at least a few vintage arcade games in their rec rooms, basements and man-caves. • Home builders are even accommodating this trend as seen by the uptick in game rooms in new home builds.

  5. All-In-One Arcade Games • For gaming enthusiasts who have neither the time, space or budget to collect and restore vintage games, another popular alternative is the all-in-one game system. • a single cabinet or cocktail table loaded with dozens or even hundreds of classic games. • Jim Kimbrell, owner of Arcade Maverick, has seen the effects of this growing trend firsthand with his own customers.
