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.
