>but they go by the name "video game museum"

Here in Canadaland we have the local "Wonderland Arcade" that has been at the same location downtown since 1978. It is run by a sweet old lady who is the widow of it's founder, and she is keeping it going in his memory despite not making any money.

>Wonderland still smells, sounds and looks like it did in 1982 when Regina teens came to play video games like Pacman and Asteroids. The arcade stopped turning a profit years ago, and most customers today come only for nostalgia and cheap fries.

>But Wonderland’s owners can’t walk away.Money comes second to the Bryants, a family driven by a respect for the history behind the once-bustling hot spot and what it means to the all the brothers, sisters, nephews and granddaughters linked to the family business.

>“My dad was an amazing man,” says Dorothy Stuart.

>Her father Vince Bryant started a successful coin-op business more than 50 years ago before launching Wonderland in the late 1970s.Bryant died 10 years ago just before turning 80.

>His his wife Alice, 88, remains the face of the family business.Alice and Wonderland. Vince named the arcade after the wife he adored.

The only thing that changed is that it is now a $4/hr unlimited play arcade.
