Lost Ark Videogames, situated in Greensboro, North Carolina, has operated as a distinctive retail and entertainment hub since its opening on August 27, 2011. Founded by Daniel McMillan, the establishment aimed to revive the brick-and-mortar video game store experience and the communal atmosphere of a local arcade. It serves the community by offering a diverse selection of new and used video games for both classic systems like the Atari 2600 and Nintendo 64, and modern consoles.
Beyond retail, Lost Ark Videogames features an arcade, sometimes referred to as “Arcadia Manor,” that includes pinball machines, vintage arcade cabinets—notably a significant collection of Japanese-style games—and a functional Pokémon Snap machine from the 1990s. The venue also provides a space for tabletop gaming, including board games and Warhammer 40,000, alongside Japanese imports and collectibles. As a cultural focal point for gamers in Greensboro, Lost Ark Videogames regularly hosts tournaments, game launch parties, and social events, fostering a sense of community and supporting local organizations through initiatives like food drives.
