Video Arcades Making Comeback in Detroit
Remember the good old days when you went to your favorite video arcade and played video games for hours at a time?
More than three decades after the golden age, age of arcades peaked in the early 1980's, the generation that embraced Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Galaga during childhood is going back to the future.
Arcades stocked with vintage cabinets from the 80's and 90's are returning across the country. They're approached with nostalgia, and often a pint of craft beer, as past fears have long since faded.
Vintage arcades accepting coins and serving craft beer recently have arrived in places from New York City to Chicago and Portland, Ore., and Detroit. Here's more from the Detroit Free Press.
