The American Classic Arcade Museum, Inc., a non-profit corporation registered with the State of New Hampshire, has been established to promote and preserve the history of coin-operated arcade games. The museum will cover the industry from its pre-electricity inception in the early 20th century through the Penny Arcades we all enjoyed as children and into the economic crash of the arcade industry in the late 1980's, an era that predates the existence of so-called "violent" games. The directors of this organization have a combined experience of over 100 years in the arcade industry. Their experience is the driving force behind the organization and gives it the knowledge base to make it a success. There is no such museum in existence at this time that covers the history of coin-operated arcade machines. One of the major goals of the organization will be keeping alive the history of coin-operated arcade games. This will be accomplished through educational displays, cut-away models of games, vintage publications, antique catalogs and guest lectures given by prominent figures in arcade history. The museum will also include written, audio, video and electronic data containing the history of coin-operated games and the people who created them. The American Classic Arcade Museum will be a one of a kind facility that will keep this part of American history alive for those that experienced it and for those who were too young to remember.
