U.S. Video Gamers Organize To Save Historic Video Arcade

The Pak Mann Arcade is one of California's last surviving arcades founded in the early 1980s and is only the fourth arcade to receive an award from The International Registry of Historic Video Game & Pinball Arcades, for its contributions to the culture of the 20th Century. Though the Pak Mann Arcade is famous throughout the United States for its 20-year history of great contests, featuring many of the nation's top video gamers, Pasadena City Hall believes the culture of the city will be upgraded if the arcade closes its doors.But video game players don't agree and are uniting to launch a national campaign to "save" the besieged game room and keep its celebrated doors open.
