Arcadia® and Penny Arcadia®, have been our exhibitions, museum exhibits, live entertainment, promotion, and special events division since 1982. The newest Arcadia® offering is the Hall of Heroes®trade; — see the Arcadia page for further information.

The Videogame and Arcade Preservation Society™ (VAPS™) represents a subset of our members supporting a noted machine and game census project since the 1980's.
