The Cleveland Arcade in downtown Cleveland (late 1960s)
An 'arcade' is a passage or walkway covered over by a succession of
arches or
vaults supported by columns. In some cities, establishments in arcades called
penny arcades featured many coin operated attractions. The games came to be known as
arcade games, and since the explosion of electronic games in the
1970s these establishments became known as
video arcades.
