History

Established in 2010.

Some would say it began with the Big Bang. Others say it was the Big Other Thang, but a few of us know it really started with the Mag D’ Vox Odyssey and the wars between D’Atari and her sister/​mother/​daughter Activis Zhan. These wars were so abominably despicable and putrefying, you probably won’t ever hear about them again and rightly so. They raged on through the prepubescent age of the universe; then raged on even harder after that, lasting eons upon eons. They did eventually get over it, however. Hargrave Arcade showed up much, much later just to remind us of but a time when real players got their donkey konged and their pac manned on Saturday nights.

Meet the Business Owner

Trey B.

Business Owner

Upon realizing his own mortality, Trey dropped out of Harvard Med School to start an arcade for charity, thus calling it Hargrave Arcade… Not really, but wouldn’t that have been something to blog to mom about? In actuality, he’s just a simple man with a mild passion and no more than a midget’s handful of neurotic tendencies. Even as a baby he proved to be nearly unshakable and still continues to stare blankly in the face of rejection, virtually oblivious to his own boldness. He’s been shunned by every industry he’s made-​out with (except retail still talks to him) and even that couldn’t shake his high self-​opinion, for he decided it could only mean one thing: to build up his own industry, with his own hands, in his own mind, and not shun himself. In the meantime, Trey runs Hargrave Arcade to fulfill his dream of hosting the Chuck E. Cheesiest place there ever should be…
