1. A great place where you can go to play video games. Very popular in the 80's.
2. An awesome band formed by Fred Coury of
Cinderella, and
Stephen Pearcy of
Ratt, in the early 90's.
Example:
1. Hey man, I went to the
arcade last night and kicked this one guy's ass when I played him at Mortal Kombat!
2. I was listening to "
Dancin' With
The Angels" by
Arcade last night, that is one awesome band!

THE most boring town of New York. Full of stoners, sluts,
wangsters and drunks. There are only two activities to do in Arcade: walk around town and eat. Don't look for it on a map. It's
not there. But it's distict school has recently been put on
the map thanks to sluts posting porn on the internet.
