Upon walking into Game Grid Arcade’s tight phalanx of flickering arcade screens, I felt like I had stepped into the past. Somewhere between the background music and “Game Over” screens, there was a nostalgic reminder of a time when the arcade was still in vogue. “To me, arcades provide a different sort of tactile experience, a physical experience,” says Adam Pratt, who opened the doors to Game Grid in 2008. “In an arcade, you almost feel like you’re sitting in a racing machine of some kind. Or a tank.”
